Oakland Raiders cornerback Sean Smith — who left last Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury — returned to practice, as well as the rest of the Raiders-Broncos injury report.

Sean Smith injured his shoulder on just the second snap of the Week 8 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he did not return to the game.

The injury appeared to be potentially serious, with Dr. David Chao weighing in on the potential severity:

L shoulder subluxation/dislocation with possible labral tear.
Hope #SeanSmith can play with shoulder brace like #CharlesWodson previously. https://t.co/Qd7lYWGECn

Smith is still considered unlikely to play against Denver, but it’s great news to see him back at practice so soon.

Here is the rest of the injury report:

Raiders:

Did not practice: DT Stacy McGee (ankle)
Limited: WR Amari Cooper (back), C Rodney Hudson (knee), G Kelechi Osemele (knee), OT Menelik Watson (calf), CB Sean Smith (shoulder), OL Vadal Alexander (ankle), RB Taiwan Jones (knee).

McGee is still ailing from an injury suffered in Week 7, while the rest of the Raiders on Oakland’s injury report are not serious, although there are several notable names.

Broncos:

Did not practice: CB Aqib Talib (back), C Matt Paradis (hip), CB Kayvon Webster (hamstring), OT Russell Okung (not injury related).
Limited: OLB Brandon Marshall (hamstring), RB Devontae Booker (shoulder).

Talib is experiencing back spasms and is now considered a game-time decision to play.
