McFadden did not practice all week because of the injury to his left toe. McFadden had been bothered for much of the season with a right turf toe injury, but hurt the left toe two weeks ago against the Jets. McFadden, the fourth overall pick in the draft, also missed last week's game at Baltimore.

The other inactive players for Oakland were: defensive end Derrick Burgess (triceps), linebacker Ricky Brown (groin), linebacker Jon Alston (foot), safety Rashad Baker, and offensive linemen John Wade and James Marten. Marques Tuiasosopo was the third quarterback for the game.

Left tackle Sam Baker was on the inactive list for Atlanta after undergoing successful back surgery Thursday. Also inactive for the Falcons were defensive backs Thomas DeCoud and David Irons, linebacker Tony Gilbert, center Alex Stepanovich, defensive end Simon Fraser and receiver Adam Jennings. D.J. Shockley was the third quarterback.
