Head coach Klint Kubiak said Friday that the hope is that Thornton (undisclosed) will be back at practice ahead of the Raiders' Week 5 road tilt against the Patriots, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Thornton opened the season on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury that prevented him from participating in the majority of August practices during training camp. Once he's cleared to return, Thornton will likely operate in a depth role at wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor and Cody White.
The Raiders placed Thornton (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

Thornton continues to make a case for a starting role in the Raiders offense, connecting with Geno Smith on a 70-yard touchdown during the team's first padded practice of training camp Monday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.
The 2025 fourth-round pick out of Tennessee has the size and speed to be a vertical threat for Las Vegas, and he flashed those traits Monday when he blew past cornerback Darien Porter to get under a deep pass from Smith. Veteran wideout Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers are locked in as the Raiders' top pass catchers, but Thornton is competing with Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Jack Bech for the other starting spot opposite Meyers in 12 personnel, which the team figures to use frequently under new coach Pete Carroll.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
