Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters that Hobbs (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
The 25-year-old cornerback was sidelined for the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins after sustaining an ankle injury the week prior, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he might be at risk of missing additional time. If Hobbs cannot upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss his second consecutive game in the Week 12 matchup against the Broncos.

Rotowire
Hobbs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Raiders' Robert Spillane: Will play through injury Week 9
Rotowire
Spillane (knee) is active for Sunday's battle against the Bengals.
Spillane was not able to practice at all this week due to a knee issue, but he'll tough it out and suit up against Cincinnati.

Spillane has been very productive with double-digit tackles in six of his eight games so far this season.
