RaidersKolton Miller Believed to Have High-Ankle Sprain With Forsythe Tabbed at Left Tackle

Pete Carroll named Stone Forsythe the first option at left tackle pending MRI results that will set Miller’s timetable.

Overview

  • Miller was carted off late in the Week 4 loss to the Bears after an ankle injury that Carroll described as a sprain.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Miller is believed to have a high-ankle sprain with an MRI still to come and a potential multi-week absence.
  • Carroll said Forsythe is the initial choice to step in at left tackle, with rookie Charles Grant getting a chance to compete.
  • High-ankle sprains commonly require roughly three to six weeks of recovery depending on severity.
  • Miller, the team’s anchor who signed a three-year, $66 million extension in July, exited a game the Raiders lost 25-24 and Las Vegas now prepares for Week 5 at Indianapolis.
