A day ago, Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said he was “very hopeful” Jimmy Garoppolo would be able to play Monday Night when the team travels to Detroit to face the Lions. Friday, his hopes look to be fulfilled as Garoppolo was upgraded to full participation in practice.

This puts him in line to start the game, giving the Raiders their best chance to be competitive against a hot Lions squad.
Starting cornerback Marcus Peters, who missed practice on Thursday with a back issue, returned to practice Friday. He was limited.
Nate Hobbs returned this week after missing four weeks with an ankle injury. He was limited the past two days.
Still missing from practice was kicker Daniel Carlson (groin) and linebacker Divine Deablo (ankle).
The team signed K James McCourt to the practice squad earlier this week in case Carlson is unable to go. Should Deablo not play, Luke Masterson would start in his place.
