"He will not be activated for this game," Kubiak said Friday. "He's making big progress. He's done a lot of good things in practice. Still working back into getting his football legs back after missing a lot of time. But I've been really pleased with his effort, with his detail. He's close."

Thornton remains benched despite Raiders' WR need and health clearance from coach.

Thornton remains on injured reserve despite being healthy and facing a clear need at wide receiver for the Raiders; coach Klint Kubiak stated he will not be activated for Sunday's game against the Rams, extending his season-long absence. Kubiak acknowledged Thornton is 'making big progress' and 'done a lot of good things in practice' but is 'still working back into getting his football legs back after missing a lot of time,' indicating the coaching staff does not yet trust him to contribute on Sundays despite his health status.
