Raiders guard Jackson Powers-Johnson will be ‘out for awhile’

The Las Vegas Raiders had a brutal offensive performance. It was the second time in three games that they scored less than 10 points. During the games, only score Jackson Powers-Johnson had a big block that led to a touchdown.

However, he didn’t play that much longer during one of the six sacks on Geno Smith. Powers-Johnson left the field with an apparent ankle injury. He was taken to the locker room immediately and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

On Friday, Pete Carroll gave an update on the injury status of Jackson Powers-Johnson. He will miss significant time, which will create a hole in the struggling offensive line.

“He hurt his ankle, legit. I don’t want to go into any of the details but he hurt his ankle. He’ll be out for a while,”

Dylan Parham left the game with an injury as well. We may get our first look at rookie Caleb Rogers, who has been inactive every week this season. There will be growing pains, but it is time to get the young players on the field.
