RAIDERS NOTES

<p>OAKLAND — For at least two weeks, Raiders coach Tom Cable has been pushing the idea of a return to health. He welcomed back four former starters on offense this week — running back Darren McFadden, wide receiver Chaz Schilens, left guard Robert Gallery and right tackle Cornell Green.</p><p>The results were mixed.</p><p>Schilens caught a 6-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage, and wound up with three receptions for 27 yards — without a drop, which is more than most of the Oakland receivers could say. Gallery and Green seemed to benefit the line; the Chiefs had only two sacks, and the Raiders rushed for a 6.1-yard average.</p><p>Gallery also had a key tripping penalty that negated a big gain by Louis Murphy. “It was one of those things. I’m not going to let the quarterback get hit,” Gallery said. “Can’t put myself in that situation. ... It cost us pretty big, so it’s a hard one to swallow.”</p><p>Cable eased McFadden into the mix slowly. He took two direct snaps in wildcat formation, ran both times, and finished with four carries for a humble 11 yards.</p><p>“The plan was to, if we could come out in the second half and get going, was to get back into some of what we were calling Wild Hog stuff,” Cable said. “It was something we wanted to use from midfield in. But really never got ourselves in that situation again.”</p><p><b>HOW DO I LOOK?</b></p><p>Michael Bush had the biggest gain of the day for either team, a 40-yard run on the second play from scrimmage. He got dragged down by cornerback Brandon Carr at the 4-yard line.</p><p>“What went wrong was I looked up at the screen, trying to see who was behind me, forgetting that it’s kind of couple seconds delay,” Bush admitted afterward. “And I was trying to read, thinking it was Darrius (Heyward-Bey) there in front of me to block. Next thing you know I feel something jumping on my leg.”</p><p>Bush carried 14 times for 119 yards, the second 100-yard game of his career.</p><p>“Yeah, that’s cool, but you can take the 100 yards,” he said. “I’ll take a win any day.”</p><p><b>SAME TEAM!!!!!!!!!!</b></p><p>The Raiders were up 7-3 late in the first quarter when Chiefs return man Dantrell Savage dropped a punt. A mad scramble ensued, and long snapper Jon Condo came up with the ball at the Kansas City 37-yard line — but only after he kept teammate Tony Stewart from ripping it out of his hands.</p><p>“I had it, and T-Stew’s taking it from me,” Condo said. “I rolled onto my back, and T-Stew was on top of me, and we’re looking at each other. I’m like, ‘T-Stew, this is my ball.’”</p><p>The Raiders failed to gain a first down after the recovery, and settled for Sebastian Janikowski’s 50-yard field goal.</p><p><b>INJURY UPDATE</b></p><p>Cable mentioned two players who got hurt and were unable to return: safety Michael Huff with an ankle sprain, and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly with injured ribs.</p><p>But Huff said in the locker room that the pain was more in his foot, and he was unsure of the extent of the injury. He was due to get an MRI. Huff felt the foot earlier in the game, left to get his cleat “spatted” with tape, then hurt it again.</p><p>Before that, he made one of the big defensive plays of the game, breaking up Matt Cassel’s fourth-and-1 pass to tight end Brad Cottam at about the Raiders’ 10-yard line with 3:22 left in the third quarter.</p><p><b>EXTRA POINTS</b></p><p>Janikowski missed his first field-goal attempt of the season (wide left from 45 yards) after 13 consecutive makes.</p><p>Jon Alston and Sam Williams split time at strongside linebacker.</p><p>Langston Walker got his first action since returning TO the Raiders as he temporarily replaced Green at right tackle.</p><p>Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles had 103 rushing yards on 18 carries. He entered the game with 152 yards.</p><p>Shane Lechler had a solid gross average of 48.3 yards, but it lowered his season mark to 51.5 — just ahead of Sammy Baugh’s NFL-record 51.4, set in 1940.</p><p>Johnnie Lee Higgins led the Raiders with four catches for 41 yards, but dropped at least one and struggled terribly on punt returns.</p>
