ALAMEDA — The Raiders held a light practice Thursday and then went their separate ways for five days, a with their Week 10 bye providing a time to rest and heal.

With their next game coming on Monday night, Nov. 21 in Mexico City against the Houston Texans, players won’t be back at the facility to practice until Wednesday to resume their normal practice schedule.

“We’ll take the bye weekend and watch some football, and heal and rest up,” Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said. “(I) told our guys, get back here, ready to go to work and be smart about the choices you’re making while you’re gone. That’s what we expect, our guys to handle themselves well.”

Among those on the field for practice were defensive tackle Stacy McGee, who missed the last two games with an ankle injury, and cornerback Sean Smith, who missed the Denver game with a shoulder injury but has been on the field the past two days.

Defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. was not on the field. He remains on injured reserve and the increasing likelihood is that he won’t be ready to play in the Houston game.

The Raiders aren’t required to give an injury report during a bye week and Del Rio, as per his usual policy, wasn’t giving any updates.

“You know I don’t speak much on injuries,” Del Rio said. “The guys that can work worked. We backed sown some guys of our own choosing.”

As practice was beginning Thursday, tackle Donald Penn was working in the weight room, which is what guard Kelechi Osemele did on Wednesday. Also not on the field for the second day was running back Latavius Murray.
