Raiders vs Giants Wednesday injury report: Andre Gurode returns, Darren McFadden not practicing

The Wednesday injury report came out and unlike last week, there are a lot of Raiders players who returned as well as newly added to the list. Most notably the statuses of Andre Gurode, Darren McFadden, Terrelle Pryor, Andre Holmes, Juron Criner, Tony Pashos, Sebastian Janikowski, Kaluka Maiava, and Rod Streater.

Gurode returned to practice for the first time in three weeks. He left the team's week six game against the Chiefs with an injured quad and it caused him to miss the last two games. His return at very least strengthens the depth along the interior. Best case scenario is he could perhaps step into the starting left guard spot. That is something worth monitoring as the week goes on.

Darren McFadden went out in the second quarter last week against the Eagles after re-injuring his hamstring strain. He was not at practice at all today and will very likely miss the game this week and perhaps more. Rashad Jennings will start in his place.

Terrelle Pryor was a full participant despite leaving the game against the Eagles with an injured knee. It was never considered to be serious and it's good news that he isn't even limited for one practice.

Andre Holmes returned to practice since tweaking his hamstring last week and missing Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Juron Criner was active for the first time last week and injured his shoulder. He was not practicing today and his arm was in a sling signaling he could be out some time.

Sebastian Janikowski didn't practice but that shouldn't be an issue. He suffered bruised ribs in Sunday's game and is sitting because he is a kicker.

Neither Tony Pashos nor Matt McCants practiced today leaving the right tackle job in the hands of recently activated rookie, Menelik Watson. Pashos has been out since week five with a hip flexor injury and his return is unknown. McCants injured his toe in the last week's game and his foot was in a walking boot so he could also be out an extended amount of time.

Rod Streater left Sunday's game with a hip injury but practiced full today.

Kaluka Maiava suffered a rib injury in Sunday's game and did not practice.

Victor Cruz is the big name on the Giants' injury report. He didn't practice with a neck injury. He suffered a stinger in last week's game but is expected to be fine to play Sunday.
