Raiders Running back Darren McFadden didn’t practice Tuesday but he was on the side jogging with trainers after being out 57 days with a mid-foot sprain.

Receiver Jacoby Ford (foot) was also in that group. He has missed five games.

Making his return to practice was rookie running back Taiwan Jones, who has been out since the Minnesota game on Nov. 20.

Missing in action were defensive tackle John Henderson (knee) and safety Michael Huff (hamstring) — who both were out Sunday against the Lions. Kick returner Bryann McCann, knocked out of the game with a concussion, was back at practice.

Michael Bush is nearing the end of a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Raiders and will be a free agent at the end of this season but said he hopes to stay with the Raiders.

“That’s something I will tackle later on down the road,” he said. “If it’s right, I will still be here. I like Oakland — the weather is great, so we’ll see where we’re at at the end of the year.”

Bob Redman, Bush’s coach at Male, said he thinks Bush is in a very “advantageous position.”

“He’s having a remarkable year, and many teams will be looking for a solid back,” Redman said. “Michael can be an every-down back. He has a great ability to run inside; he also can run on the outside. He’s also able to catch the ball very well.”

Phil Simms said on the CBS telecast of the game that injured Oakland running back Darren McFadden has a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, and not a mid-foot sprain, and could be out for the year.

Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said that there has been no change in McFadden's diagnosis.
