Oakland Raiders could start Taiwan Jones at RB this week
Running back Darren McFadden, though, was not on the practice field, fueling speculation that he aggravated his troubled right hamstring. Neither was running back Jeremy Stewart, who suffered knee and ankle injuries on Thanksgiving at the Dallas Cowboys.
And while Rashad Jennings was back after suffering a concussion against the Cowboys, converted cornerback/gunner Taiwan Jones was getting reps at running back.
Taiwan Jones was playing gunner and cornerback last week. Expect him to have a few big runs if he does start, the kid is super fast.
