Layne has made a complete recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last October and is fully cleared for all football activities, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Layne played in five games with the Chargers last season before tearing his ACL in Week 6. He made one start but was relegated almost exclusively to special-teams work in his other four contests. Layne is currently a free agent, and Wilson reports that several teams, including the Giants and Cardinals, are interested in bringing him in for a workout.

Chargers' Raheem Layne: In line for start
Rotowire
Layne is in line for a starting opportunity in Sunday's matchup with the Raiders, Eric Smith of the team's official website reports.
With Derwin James (hamstring) doubtful, Alohi Gilman (heel) questionable and JT Woods (undisclosed) out, the Chargers are expected to be pretty thin at safety in Week 4. As a result, Layne is in line for a start, which would be the first of his career. The second-year safety has just two solo tackles on the year.
