ALAMEDA – Raiders defensive tackle Darius Latham was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, as he progresses toward a return to game action.
The undrafted yet impactful rookie has missed two games with an ankle injury. He was questionable before Thursday’s loss to Kansas City, a sign he was getting closer to a return.
A full practice week, even on a limited basis, could put him in position to play and add depth to the interior defensive line on Sunday at San Diego. Latham has been a stout run defender, with some interior pass-rush ability.
Getting him back would help a position group likely without Stacy McGee for a third straight game.
