Thornton (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis:The Raiders designated Thornton for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, and it appears he may be close to being officially activated. The fact that free-agent acquisitions Jalen Nailor (concussion) and Cody White (ankle) are tending to injuries could give Las Vegas additional incentive to get Thornton ready for game action sooner than later.
