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. Allen says Ford will miss a little time and couldn't rule out the chance that Ford would miss the opener Sept. 10 against San Diego.
Ford made it through a third straight practice without any setbacks and expects to play in Oakland's regular-season finale against San Diego.|||||||
That would be a big boost to the Raiders, who need to beat the Chargers on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive. Oakland can get in either as the AFC West champion or as a wild card, though it would need help from other teams for that to happen.
