Overview
- Smith exited in the fourth quarter against the Giants immediately after his second interception of the game.
- Team staff escorted him to the locker room as CBS cameras showed a pronounced limp, and the Raiders listed him as questionable with an ankle injury.
- Backup Kenny Pickett took over and led the Raiders’ final drive.
- Before departing, Smith was 20-of-28 for 176 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and three sacks, according to one report.
- One account attributed the injury to contact with teammate Dylan Parham on the interception return, and some outlets suggested he could be held out of the finale given the team’s situation.
