ALAMEDA -- Raiders coach Hue Jackson said he's still holding out hope that running back Darren McFadden will return to the field before the season ends."I'm going to keep on holding out hope until somebody tells me different," Jackson said Monday in his weekly media conference.McFadden has not played since suffering what the Raiders have termed a mid-foot sprain of his right foot against Kansas City on Oct. 23. The Raiders (7-7) have lost three straight games and are one game behind the Denver Broncos (8-6) in the AFC West.How long has it been since McFadden has seen action? Quarterback Carson Palmer has yet to take a single snap with McFadden, who missed three, four and three games due to injury in his first three NFL seasons. If he does not play again this year, McFadden will have missed nine games this year and 19 of 64 in his career.
