Justin Tuck, Marcel Reece among Raiders not practicing

As with last week, the Raiders first practice of the week was a late one, per Tony Sparano's new philosophy. And among those not practicing were Justin Tuck and Marcel Reece, according to media present at practice.

Tuck suffered an knee injury in Sunday's game against the Chargers. He left the game to get it taped up and returned to action, though he was clearly not 100% and played just 22 snaps.

Reece was questionable with a quad injury heading into the game but played.

Both players not practicing could possibly just be resting up from their injuries and we should know a bit more Thursday as to the seriousness of the injuries.

Among those who missed the game on Sunday were Khalif Barnes (quad), and Vincent Brown (hamstring). Neither practiced and were seen working with trainers on the sideline.

Returning to practice as expected was D.J. Hayden who was eligible to practice for the first time since being placed on the PUP list to begin the season.
