Ford is undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury to his left foot.|||||||
Ford had an MRI on Saturday, a day after leaving Oakland's 31-24 preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the first quarter. Ford missed six games last season for the Raiders with a sprained left foot although coach Dennis Allen says this one doesn't appear as serious.
