NAPA, Calif. (AP) — In an offseason full of changes for the Oakland Raiders, perhaps the most positive development has been the health of a returning star.

Running back Darren McFadden has opened training camp the way he looked in offseason workouts, showing the speed and ability that has made him one of the NFL’s dangerous backs when healthy.

The problem for McFadden and the Raiders (tied 23rd in AP Pro 32) in recent years has been his health as he has missed 19 games in his first four seasons with foot, toe, shoulder, knee and hamstring injuries.
