Raiders defensive lineman Neil Farrell has been cleared to return to practice.
Farrell, a second-year player who the Raiders are counting on to be an anchor along their defensive line, was put on the Non-Football Injury list to start training camp for an undisclosed reason. He is expected to be on the field when the Raiders return to practice on Wednesday after two days off.
A fourth-round pick out of LSU last year, Farrell appeared in nine games as a rookie while accumulating nine tackles.
In spite of the minimal production, the Raiders’ expectation is that Farrell will be a key part of their defensive line.
