The Raiders' offense is expected to be at full strength for the first time this season in Week 10 when OG Robert Gallery, ORT Cornell Green, RB Darren McFadden and WR Chaz Schilens, who is the only one out of the group who has yet to play this season, are all supposed to return from injuries. Sources say Gallery is the player Oakland has missed the most during the stretch, and getting him back should boost the running game. With his troops back in order, head coach Tom Cable, who has blamed injuries at least in part for the team's struggles this season, will get an opportunity to show what he can do with a healthy arsenal. If there is no improvement in the next few weeks, his case for a return to the sideline next season will be a weak one. Cable's time to prove that he can lead the Raiders out of the basement is running out.
