NAPA, Calif. -- Sio Moore's time on the active/physically unable to perform list was a short one.

The Oakland Raiders' starting outside linebacker was practicing with his teammates on Saturday morning. He missed just one training camp practice after being put on the PUP list on Monday. The expectation was that Moore's stint on the PUP list would be brief. In February, Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie said Moore had "major" hip surgery but the team was hopeful he'd be ready for training camp. Moore, a third-round pick in 2013, had 90 tackles in 11 games last season before getting hurt.

The Raiders signed Malcolm Smith from Seattle in free agency as insurance. But Moore is expected to start, barring a setback.

Meanwhile, rookie tight end Clive Walford remained out Saturday for the second straight practice. Oakland coach Jack Del Rio declined to address Walford's injury Friday. Walford, a third-round pick, is expected to be an immediate contributor to Oakland's passing game.
