McFadden thinks turf toe not as bad as '08

"Darren McFadden has turf toe and although he hopes to face the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday, it's not a slam dunk.

"It might be a game time decision,'' coach Tom Cable said. "He's feeling much better, so we're not trying to chance it right now and see what he can do tomorrow.''

McFadden said the condition is not nearly as bad as his rookie year, when turf toe on both feet essentially wrecked his season. Behind the scenes, there were those in McFadden's camp that felt the Raiders mishandled the injury and should have shut him down earlier. He even sought medical opinions outside the organization.

"It brings back memories but at the same time it's something you learn to deal with,'' McFadden said. "You know how to approach it.''

Following the Indianapolis game, McFadden said in the locker room he had rolled his ankle while Cable said he had turf toe. Thursday was the first day he was available to the media and he confirmed his left toe was the issue.

McFadden said he went out and "ran around'' at practice, but on the official report he was listed as not having practiced.

"I have full intentions of going out and playing so I'll see how it goes,'' McFadden said.

Defensive tackle Richard Seymour did not practice and will be a game time decision. Right tackle Langston Walker was limited, saying he made it through 95 percent of practice before he had a "miniscule'' headache.

Receivers/punt return specialists Nick Miller and Johnnie Lee Higgins were limited with ankle injuries, as was safety Mike Mitchell (ribs), tight end Zach Miller (foot), cornerback Chris Johnson (groin), and cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (ankle) participated fully."
