Pete Carroll Says Raiders LT Kolton Miller Expected Back From IR This Season

The assurance follows weeks of offensive-line losses that have left the Raiders struggling to score.

Overview

  • Carroll said Saturday that Miller is "getting around okay" and that signs point to a return before the season ends.
  • Miller has been on Injured Reserve since Week 4 with a serious ankle injury described as a break combined with a high-ankle sprain.
  • Stone Forsythe has filled in at left tackle, allowing 14 pressures with a 94.8 pass-blocking efficiency, per reporting.
  • Las Vegas is averaging about 14.8 points per game as protection issues have weighed on the passing game.
  • Rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson is also on IR with his season outlook unclear, while Brock Bowers has returned from a knee issue and coaches say they plan to feature him more.
