The Las Vegas Raiders had a rookie defense lineman return to practice this week. The Raiders activated University of Alabama third-round pick Byron Young on Sunday after Young began training camp on the PUP list and missed the first two weeks of practice per The Athletic’s Tashan Reed.
#Raiders DT Byron Young is practicing today for the first time during training camp. He's been activated off the physically unable to perform list. Good timing ahead of joint practices with the 49ers next week.

Of course, Young has some catching up to do, but he enters a training camp battle for positioning on Las Vegas’ depth chart at defensive tackle, which is a wide-open competition.
