Raiders center Rodney Hudson is participating in Thursday’s practice and looks on track to start Sunday’s game in Detroit.
Hudson missed last week’s outing with a sprained right ankle and was held out of Wednesday’s practice. But he was suited up at the start on Thursday, took snaps with the quarterbacks and handled first-team repetitions during the brief team period open to the media.
Tony Bergstrom played solidly in Hudson’s absence after he was injured in the fourth quarter of the Nov. 8 game in Pittsburgh and made his first start since 2012 when he replaced Hudson in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
