    Running back Darren McFadden (foot) and defensive tackle John Henderson (knee) missed practice again Thursday, and while they are all but ruled out for Sunday’s game, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said he has no plans to put any players on the injured list. “It’s too late,†Jackson said. “We got what we got.†Both players could be ready for the playoffs if Oakland wins against San Diego and gets some help from other teams to make the postseason. “The thing that I love is I think that we’re getting healthier down the stretch,†Jackson said. “The stretch, what does that mean for us? We need to win this game and have some things happen to have the opportunity to stay in this race, and I think we can get some guys back healthy and maybe make some noise. The pieces are starting to come back, just like I knew they would, like I thought they would. We just need to get them back and get them out back out there playing football.†Receiver Jacoby Ford (foot) and running back Taiwan Jones (hamstring) were limited for a second straight day, but Jackson was “really happy the way (Ford) practiced.†As far as Jones, Jackson said, “I haven’t seen him turn it loose†yet. Safety Michael Huff (hamstring) was also limited in practice, but is ahead of the other two. “I think Huff is back,†Jackson said.
