Overview

  • Smith did not practice Wednesday with a right shoulder injury, and multiple reports say he is considered unlikely to start in Philadelphia.
  • Coach Pete Carroll said Kenny Pickett is taking the bulk of first-team reps and would start if Smith cannot go.
  • Pickett relieved Smith in Week 14 and went 8-of-11 for 97 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Denver.
  • The Raiders are 2-11 with seven straight defeats as they head to face the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
  • Team notes include LT Kolton Miller returning to practice in his 21-day window, TE Michael Mayer participating on a limited basis, WR Dont’e Thornton clearing concussion protocol, and Maxx Crosby managing a knee issue.
