Porter Sits Out Raiders Practice Before 49ers Game

Las Vegas returned to practice on November 4 after beating the New York Jets in Week 8, ending a four-game losing streak. The 4-4 Raiders are preparing to visit San Francisco, which opened the season with six straight wins, on Sunday, November 8.

Cornerback Darien Porter did not practice because of a groin injury. He was forced out of the Jets game after playing just one snap, leaving his availability for the 49ers matchup uncertain. Jackson Powers-Johnson and Patrick Johnson also sat out Wednesday's session.

Jack Bech, Brock Bowers, Kwity Paye and Quay Walker all took part without limitation. Ian Thomas, DJ Glaze and Folorunso Fatukasi were limited in practice. Tight end Carter Runyon, activated from injured reserve, took part fully.

The Raiders also released receiver Cody White on Wednesday. Their defensive backfield could face a difficult test against San Francisco, and Porter's status is a key concern as the week of preparation continues.

Las Vegas has beaten four teams whose combined record is 5-24. The Raiders will have a chance against the 49ers to show they can also win against a team with a strong record, as they try to build on their victory over the Jets.
