08:04 AM ET 07.31 | One day into training camp and the Raiders' most dynamic offensive player, Darren McFadden, has a clean bill of health. A good-natured sort, McFadden politely fields all queries about his propensity for injury but has no solutions. "If someone has an answer for it, I would love for them to tell me," McFadden said Monday. Seven games into the 2011 season, McFadden appeared headed for 1,500-plus rushing yards and the Raiders were playoff contenders. Then came a short completion from Kyle Boller, an awkward twist, and a dreaded Lisfranc sprain of the right arch. ... "I think we all understand that he's an explosive playmaker for us and we need him to be healthy for an entire season," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. That would be a first.

Injuries suck, but they're part of the game.

Yeah, but I'd like to see the loud-mouthed idiots with the long nagging injuries. You ever wonder what many of these injury-prone players could have done had they been able to stay healthy?

I have never heard less than that. Also hear he is a GREAT cook.

I got to see him once while he was with the Royals... he hit a line drive straight into Nolan Ryan's mouth.

I'd look for someone to take him off your hands...

Thru 4 seasons, he has yet to play 16 games.

If he was gonna live up to the hype... He would have done it by now...

The best part of Seahawk football is watching that clip of Bo Jackson running over Brian Bosworth. Seahawks have had some other memorable moments, and some of them were good, but I never get tired of that particular clip.
