Before he was injured, most of McFadden's carries through four games were stretch plays cut back toward the middle, with few sweeps or tosses. He averaged 3.1 yards per carry on those plays.

PLAYER NOTES

--RB Darren McFadden (knee) was limited in practice and Cable said he expects him to play Nov. 15 against the Chiefs following the bye week.

--RT Cornell Green (calf) would be ready to go Monday and is expected to return as a starter following the bye after missing four games.

--WR Chaz Schilens was limited in practice Wednesday after soreness in his left foot (broken fifth metatarsal) caused him to sit out the last two games after looking nearly ready to play.

--LB Jon Alston passed all tests relative to concussions and was cleared to practice after having his second minor concussion in a month against San Diego.

--CB Chris Johnson, recovering from a groin strain, did not practice.

--DT Gerard Warren, who has a foot sprain, did not practice.

INJURY IMPACT: Despite a 2-6 record, Cable gave himself "no better than a C-plus" for the first half of the season, noting that injuries on the offensive side had made things extremely difficult in terms of moving the ball and scoring touchdowns. The Raiders have six touchdowns in eight games.
