The Las Vegas Raiders activated starting cornerback Damon Arnette off injured reserve Saturday.
Arnette hasn’t played since Week 3 when he reaggravated a thumb injury in a Sept. 27 loss to the New England Patriots. He underwent surgery and returned to practice last week. Arnette is expected to play Sunday when the Raiders (5-3) take on the Denver Broncos (3-5). Arnette first injured the thumb in training camp.
Arnette, the 19th overall pick out of Ohio State, had 13 tackles and one pass defended in three games for Las Vegas.
Nevin Lawson started five games in Arnette’s absence, recording two passes defensed and a sack to go with 30 tackles.
The Raiders also promoted defensive end David Irving from the practice squad.
