Jacoby Ford (foot, questionable) expects to play in Sunday's regular season finale.
"I'll be out there," Ford said after practicing for the third straight day Friday. "If I practice this much this week and I'm not out there, I'd be mad. I'll be out there, though." Sidelined since Week 10, Ford will likely be limited to slot work behind Darrius Heyward-Bey and Denarius Moore. Coach Hue Jackson said he is "not inclined" to have Ford return kicks coming off such a long absence. Ford is Rotoworld's 40th ranked receiver for Week 17.

Jacoby Ford (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 17.
Ford is tentatively expected to play against the Chargers, but may focus on return duties and slot receiver work only, playing in three-wide sets. Darrius Heyward-Bey and rookie Denarius Moore have earned starting jobs outside.

Jacoby Ford (foot) returned to Raiders practice on Wednesday.
It looks like Ford will make it back against the Chargers, barring in-practice setbacks, and Darren McFadden (foot) probably won't. Ford was spotted by beat reporters running routes and coaching passes Wednesday. The Raiders' wide receiver corps should be at full strength in the regular season finale, a must-win game for Oakland's postseason chances.

Jacoby Ford (foot) was held out of Raiders practice for the second straight day Wednesday.
Like his teammate Darren McFadden, Ford simply can't get over the hump with his mid-foot sprain, and at this point it's doubtful he plays another down this season. He's roster deadweight in redraft leagues.

Coach Hue Jackson stopped short of offering a timetable for Jacoby Ford (foot) to return to practice.
Ford is considered ''day to day,'' but has yet to show he's healthy enough to be medically cleared to practice. He hasn't been able to do anything other ''side work'' since going down in Week 10, and isn't guaranteed of returning this season.

Jacoby Ford (foot) missed Raiders practice again Friday and will not play in Week 15 against the Lions.
Denarius Moore and Darrius Heyward-Bey will likely be the Raiders' starting wideouts in Week 15, with Chaz Schilens operating as the No. 3. Ford still can't get over the hump with his mid-foot sprain and has no timetable to return.
