Hobbs began practicing Monday. He is not fully ready as he is wearing a non-contact jersey. However, Hobbs is clearly on the road to being ready to start the season Week 1 at the Denver Broncos on September 10. Hobbs missed the first four days of training camp practices with an eye injury he suffered during a charity softball game in Las Vegas on July 22.
Meanwhile, according to The Athletic, fellow Raiders’ defensive players, starting linebacker Divine Deablo and backup safety Jaquan Johnson were not at practice for undisclosed reasons.
