Raiders quarterback Geno Smith returned to full participation in Thursday's practice.

Crosby was limited on Wednesday with a knee injury -- it's not his first rodeo on the knee listing this season. He's probably not in much danger of missing Sunday's game against the Broncos just yet, as he's been something of an iron man outside of last season, but it is something we'll be monitoring on Friday.

In the fourth quarter of Sunday's game between the Raiders and the Chargers, L.A. quarterback Justin Herbert celebrated a third-down conversion by shouting in the vicinity of Las Vegas defensive end Maxx Crosby.

Patterson deserves credit for fighting through contact en route to a two-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but his best play occurred on the Chargers' fourth drive. Patterson ran to the right, through a crowded box, as Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby dove toward him and landed a clean punch on the football. The rock hardly moved in Patterson's grip, and he continued on his way to a 22-yard gain, bringing the ball to the Raiders' 15-yard line. Patterson can be stashed until RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) returns from injured reserve.
