Jeremy Brevard-US PRESSWIRE
Both teams are missing their running backs as Darren Sproles and Darren McFadden highlight the list of inactives.
New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles is inactive for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders.
This is the third straight game Sproles has missed due to a broken hand that required surgery earlier in November.
The Saints will also be without wide receiver Greg Camarillo, defensive tackle Junior Galette, linebacker Scott Shanle, tackle Zach Streif, defensive end Tyrunn Walker and cornerback Corey White.
The Raiders are missing most of their backfield, with running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson declared inactive for the game. Marcel Reece and Jeremy Stewart will fill in for the injured pair and the Raiders will once again lean on Carson Palmer's arm for most of the game.
McFadden suffered a high ankle sprain on Nov. 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and hasn't played since. Goodson also injured his ankle and hasn't played since the loss against the Buccaneers.
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey will play in the game after missing most of the Raider's practices this week with a hamstring injury.
Oakland will also be missing the services of safety Tyvon Branch, offensive lineman Lucas Nix, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, defensive tackle Richard Seymour and tackle Willie Smith.
