RaidersKolton Miller Believed to Have High‑Ankle Sprain, Potential Multi‑Week Absence

Pete Carroll designated Stone Forsythe as the initial replacement, with rookie Charles Grant under evaluation.

Overview

  • Miller exited on the final drive against the Bears, was carted off without putting weight on his right leg, and was later seen on crutches.
  • Ian Rapoport reports the injury is believed to be a high-ankle sprain and that Miller is awaiting an MRI, which could sideline him for multiple weeks depending on severity.
  • Carroll identified veteran Forsythe as the first-choice left tackle, while third-round pick Grant will be given a chance to compete for the role.
  • The setback comes after Las Vegas’ best offensive line performance of the season, with Geno Smith not sacked and rookie Ashton Jeanty breaking out in the Week 4 loss.
  • Upcoming fronts from the Colts, Titans and Chiefs raise protection concerns, especially given Forsythe’s 2024 ledger of 35 pressures allowed in 414 snaps for Seattle and Miller’s July three-year, $66 million extension.
