McDonald is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers with an ankle injury.

Raiders' Dexter McDonald: Cleared to play in finale
McDonald (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The knee injury limited McDonald's participation in practice throughout the week, but he'll be able to steer clear of his second absence of the season. McDonald has played at least 40 defensive snaps in eight of the Raiders' last nine games and should retain a sizable role in the team's secondary with David Amerson (foot) sidelined for the season finale.

McDonald logged 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's win over Miami.
McDonald played 67 defensive snaps for the second consecutive week, as injuries to David Amerson (foot) and Gareon Conley (shin) have thinned the Raiders' secondary. They'll have a chance to further their recoveries during the team's upcoming bye, but McDonald could see an increased role in Week 11 against Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Raiders' Dexter McDonald: Draws start Sunday
McDonald will start in Sunday's Week 8 tilt against the Bills, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
McDonald has played on just 31 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps this season. With David Amerson (foot) and Gareon Conley (shin) both sidelined, McDonald is being forced up the depth chart. Expect him to see a significant role on defense as long as he's one of the team's starting corners.
