Raiders interim head coach Tony Sparano said there is “a possibility” that he’ll be ready to play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Raiders have a 21-day period to evaluate Hayden in practice before activating him off the physically unable to perform list. That window closes in two weeks.

“As far as needing the whole window, we’re taking it day by day with DJ,” Sparano said. “He had a good day today actually. He took some reps out there today. Last week was really limited to mostly scout team work. This week he took a few reps in there with the defense.”

Original Text

Oakland Raiders cornerback D.J. Hayden isn't due back for a few weeks, but he was on the field for the team's practice session on Wednesday. 

According to Vic Tafur of The San Francisco Chronicle, Hayden didn't look like a player dealing with foot problems:

The Raiders can afford to take their time with Hayden, the No. 12 pick in the 2013 draft, because their pass defense ranks fourth in the NFL. The second-year defensive back was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list in August, making him ineligible to return until after the team's sixth game.
