Playing Darren McFadden always comes with an injury risk. And, sure enough, he was injured in a 24-14 loss Sunday to visiting Washington.
McFadden was off to a decent start for the Raiders when a hamstring injury ended his day in the second quarter. He had rushed for 29 yards on five carries. He bolted soon after the game and Dennis Allen had no word on the extent of the injury.
Explosive performances have been few and far between for McFadden throughout his career, even when healthy. It remains to be seen if he will be healthy enough to play in Week 5 against AFC West rival San Diego.
