Jones-Drew non-participant in practice

Maurice Jones-Drew was not at the Raider's practice session on Wednesday with a hand injury and apparently underwent a "procedure" to resolve the issue. According to CSN's Fallon Smith, he is not expected to miss much time, if any. (Fallon Smith on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Although it is unclear at this point what exactly the injury is or what the procedure entailed, it is apparent that Jones-Drew suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Jets. He was able to return to the game without incident. From a fantasy perspective, the two-headed monster (so to speak) of Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden is a frustrating aspect for owners of either back. For those that have them handcuffed, the possibility of MJD missing any time would definitely open up opportunities for DMC and therefore make him a viable option this week vs. the Texans. The rest of the week's practice sessions will shed more light on this subject.
