It's a good sign to see McFadden at practice and participating for the second consecutive day. His absence would probably guarantee a loss for the Raiders. As for the Patriots, their bevy of injured players could have an impact on Sunday, though Bill Belichick has been known to hold back information in his injury reports in previous weeks. Limited participation could mean anything from two drills to twenty in the Patriots organization.
