Thornton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Thornton was activated from injured reserve Tuesday after fully recovering from a hamstring injury, but the second-year pro will be a healthy scratch for Week 8. In his absence, the Raiders will turn to Jack Bech, Cody White and Dareke Young to serve as the rotational wide receivers behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor. Thornton's next chance to play is Week 9 against the 49ers on Nov. 8.
