Notes from a short visit

ALAMEDA – Friday’s media time for practice is always brief.

Here are the important notes from watching the team stretch (all we’re allowed to see).

Warren Sapp (ankle) and Hiram Eugene (neck) returned to practice today.

Both have been expected to play on Sunday.

I didn’t see Gerard Warren, which means the team leader in sacks (three) could miss a second game with a quadriceps injury.

Then again, players that weren’t expected to play for the Raiders have a way of playing this season.
