McFadden practicing, 'has got his burst back'

Darren McFadden - RB - Oakland Raiders

Dec. 4, 2012 - 5:15 PM ET

Darren McFadden (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's practice.

Marcel Reece (hamstring, quadriceps) and Mike Goodson (ankle) were also limited. The Raiders confirmed that McFadden is expected back for Thursday's game versus the Broncos. According to RBs coach Kelly Skipper, McFadden has "got his burst back" and is "a lot better" this week. With Reece battling injuries of his own, McFadden should be assured of a fairly strong workload after waiting an extra five days for his return.
