The return to practice of wide receiver Rod Streater on Monday helped offset the news that running back Latavius Murray and guard Gabe Jackson weren’t able to take part in any drills.

Streater missed the past eight games while he recovered from a broken left foot that he suffered against the New England Patriots on Sept. 21.

On Monday, he put his foot through the most-strenuous workout yet.

“I went through pretty much the whole practice without any pain,” Streater said. “Cutting, running full speed, catching it. I feel I’m very close.”

Murray suffered a concussion against the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday night on his fourth carry. He finished with 112 yards and two touchdowns before he got knocked from the game on a helmet-to-helmet hit.

Coach Tony Sparano said Murray still is going through the league-mandated protocol for players that suffer a concussion. He refused to reveal how far along Murray is in the process.

Jackson hasn’t played since he hurt his left knee against the Seattle Seahawks. Khalif Barnes has started in place of Jackson the past three games.

On Monday, Jackson was excused for personal reasons, Sparano said. He is expected back at practice Wednesday.

Streater showed no lingering effects from his injury Monday. He ran routes with ease, caught passes and did everything else asked of the other receivers early on. Overall, he was limited.

“He looked like he ran around pretty good … and looked good doing what he was doing,” Sparano said.

The Raiders now have 21 days to evaluate Streater, who is on injured reserve/designated to return. They can activate him to their 53-man roster at any point during that three-week window.

If the Raiders opt not to activate Streater between now and the close of the three-week window, they will be forced to place him on season-ending injured reserve.

It’s likely that Streater will be activated before the window closes, given how well he looks on the field and that team athletic trainers told him that he is ahead of schedule in his recovery.

“They said it usually takes six to eight weeks,” Streater said. “I didn’t think I was going to come back. I’d never broken anything, but I thought the worst when I heard it. When they told me that (I would be back), I said, ‘All right, we’lll see.’ ”

The Raiders still don’t have a clear-cut No. 1 receiver. Streater is a player that some in the organization view as a potential go-to receiver.

Streater caught 39 passes for 584 yards and three touchdowns his rookie season in 2012, when he started only two games. He totaled 60 catches for 888 and four touchdowns last season as a full-time starter.
