DENVER — Safety Lonnie Johnson Jr., who missed the first eight games of the season after breaking his fibula in training camp, is active for the Raiders’ game against the Broncos on Thursday.

Rookie wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. will also play after being a healthy scratch in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Jaguars. The Raiders traded wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville on Tuesday, opening the door for Thornton’s return.

The team’s inactives Thursday are running back Zamir White, tight end Carter Runyan, rookie guard Caleb Rogers, rookie defensive tackle JJ Pegues and defensive tackle Leki Fotu.
