Raiders center Rodney Hudson is active on Sunday and will start against the Broncos after missing the past three of the past four games with a sprained right ankle.
Hudson, who originally injured the ankle Nov. 8 against the Steelers, hasn’t played since re-injuring the ankle Nov. 22 against the Lions. Center Tony Bergstrom played solidly in his absence, but the Raiders have missed the presence of a Pro Bowl-caliber play in Hudson.
Running back Taiwan Jones also is active and resumes his role as backup running back. He suffered a knee injury early in that Lions game and missed the past two games.
