ALAMEDA -- Running back Michael Bush, who has been the Raiders' featured back since Darren McFadden went down with an injured right foot on Oct. 23, showed up on Oakland's injury report on Wednesday with a sore shoulder.
"Just got to take care of him," coach Hue Jackson said of Bush. "Guy's been banging. Been banging quite a bit for the last several weeks."
Since taking over for McFadden, Bush has averaged 23.1 touches per game, 20.1 carries, and averaged 4.0 yards per rushing attempt.
Also, receiver Louis Murphy did not practice with a groin issue.
"A little tightness, a little soreness," Jackson said. "I think he will be fine."
And free safety Michael Huff, who missed Sunday's 28-27 loss to Detroit with a strained hamstring, was working with a trainer on a side field.
Might he play Saturday at Kansas City?
"We'll see," Jackson said. "I don't know that. Obviously, he hasn't been out here with us. We'll know a little bit more tomorrow. He needs to practice to play, that's for sure."
Darren McFadden and Jacoby Ford, meanwhile, did not work out a day after working with a trainer.
"They did O.K., but I think they are a little sore today," Jackson said. "We'll see where they are tomorrow and then we'll know more. They ran quite a bit yesterday, and they were on it pretty good."
A look, then, at Wednesday's practice/injury report:
Did not participate: WR Louis Murphy (groin), QB Jason Campbell (collarbone), WR Jacoby Ford (foot), DT John Henderson (knee), RB Darren McFadden (foot), FS Michael Huff (hamstring).
Limited participation: RB Michael Bush (shoulder), RB Taiwan Jones (hamstring), DT Tommy Kelly (toe).
Full participation: WR Denarius Moore (foot), WR Chaz Schilens (hip), C Samson Satele (shoulder), RB Rock Cartwright (calf), S Matt Giordano (shoulder), KR Bryan McCann (concussion), CB Stanford Routt (knee).
