The Raiders running back situation is still pretty fluid.

The Raiders running back situation remains influx. Rashad Jennings has returned to practice after missing Week 14's loss to the Jets with a concussion, according to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez. However, former first-round pick Darren McFadden continues to be held out of drills with an ankle injury, according to Scott Bair of CSN Bay Area.

Jennings was very productive prior to injury, collecting 588 yards and four touchdowns on 126 carries over 12 games. He has also added 28 receptions for 245 yards. He has started five games this season in place of McFadden, who has only played eight games due to injury.

Both backs were out against the Jets on Sunday, but fullback Marcel Reece performed well in relief. Reece had 19 carries for 123 rushing yards and a touchdown. He also caught two passes for 38 yards. He will likely return to his role at fullback with Jennings back in the lineup.

The Raiders host the Chiefs in Week 15.
