The Las Vegas Raiders are up early against the Denver Broncos, with the offensive line playing better than expected. However, that situation ended quickly on a third-down sack against Geno Smith.
Raiders guard Jackson Powers-Johnson suffered an ankle injury during the pass play. He limped off the field and was sent quickly to the locker room on a cart. Powers-Johnson was having a good game and helped Ashton Jeanty score a touchdown on a key block that gave him room for the score. Powers-Johnson is questionable to return. But the Raiders then ruled him out later the second quarter. Now, the team has to hope this is a short-term injury.
For now, the Raiders will have to depend on Alex Cappa to replace Powers-Johnson.
Later in the second quarter, fellow guard Dylan Parham left the game with an ankle injury He was replaced by Will Putnam.
The unit is also playing without left tackle Kolton Miller who is on the injured reserve. This unit is hurting.
