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.

Coach Jackson says RB Darren McFadden is running around better than he had been. Still views him as day to day.

Oakland Raiders rookie receiver Denarius Moore practiced for a third straight day and looks set to return to the lineup Sunday for the first time in four weeks.

He said it "feels good" to be back with his teammates from a foot injury and that the coaches have been easing him back into things this week.

"Just little short individual routes," Moore said, "and just working on getting more plays and actually putting more plays in as the day goes on and each practice."

Moore probably won’t return punts against the Lions, as Bryan McCann was doing that at Friday’s practice.

James Starks practices, status uncertain
Friday, December 16, 2011, 2:03pm

Running back James Starks (ankle) was back at practice Friday. The second-year back participated in some drills but appeared limited. With Brandon Saine (concussion) also still out, there's a good chance the team enters Sunday's game at Kansas City with only two healthy running backs.

After missing the Packers' 46-16 win over Oakland last weekend, Starks has sat out of practice up to this point. His status remains uncertain. Coach Mike McCarthy will address the media shortly. Green Bay finished its game against the Raiders with only Ryan Grant and John Kuhn available in the backfield. The duo combined for 131 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns.
