The Oakland Raiders head into their crucial game this weekend in Kansas City without four key injured players.

Running back Darren McFadden (right foot), receiver Jacoby Ford (left foot), safety Michael Huff (hamstring) and defensive tackle John Henderson (knee) have been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chiefs with injuries.

The designation Friday is no surprise since none of the players practiced all week. The Raiders (7-7) need to win to keep alive their hopes of winning the AFC West.

In other injury news, running back Michael Bush is questionable with a shoulder injury and running back Taiwan Jones is questionable with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the past four games.
