NAPA, Calif. (AP) -Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden will miss the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys with a sore left hamstring.
McFadden injured the hamstring in the first practice last Saturday and has sat out practice since. He says he wants to make sure he’s completely healthy before returning to the field so the injury doesn’t linger all season.
McFadden has been plagued by various injuries since being drafted fourth overall in 2008. He has run for 856 yards in 25 career games.
The Raiders also are expected to be without receivers Chaz Schilens, Jacoby Ford and Paul Hubbard, quarterbacks Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye, fullback Luke Lawton, and defensive end Jay Richardson.
