The Oakland Raiders have activated veteran offensive lineman Donald Penn from the physically unable to perform list days after he agreed to take a small pay cut, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.

Penn, who was on the PUP after undergoing foot surgery, will have to get up to speed quickly, though. He’ll have to get used to playing a new position as the Raiders have decided to move the three-time Pro Bowl left tackle over to the right side.

Rookie Kolton Miller, the Raiders’ No. 15 overall pick in this year’s draft, will likely take over for Penn at left tackle.

“They talked to me about it, about trying it out, seeing what it would do, seeing how I would feel over there and I told them, ‘I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help this team win, and if you guys feel that's going to be in the best interest of the team, I'll do it,'” Penn said Tuesday, following his first training camp practice.

“Today felt kind of awkward and rusty, but I need time to develop. I don't know if that's going to be a permanent thing or not yet, but it is something we're testing out and I told them I'm all for it. We've got a young kid over there [Miller] that's doing a lot of good things.”

The amount of commitment and dedication Penn has shown to the team in his current situation has been remarkable. Not only has he agreed to a pay cut, but he’s also gotten on board with switching positions despite proving to be one of the most reliable left tackles in the league for several years.

At the very least, Penn deserves some recognition for all of the sacrifices he’s making for the benefit of the team. Hopefully, he and the rest of the Raiders eventually do reap the rewards of his selfless attitude.
