Raiders LT Kolton Miller Returns to Practice, Opening 21-Day Activation Window

The 21-day evaluation now forces Las Vegas to weigh a late-season activation against offseason recovery.

Overview

  • Miller participated on a limited basis Wednesday in his first practice since his Sept. 28 right ankle high sprain and hairline fracture.
  • Head coach Pete Carroll said Miller is "getting close" and worked with the team for the first time since going on injured reserve.
  • The Raiders have 21 days to move him to the 53-man roster or his season will end without activation under NFL IR rules.
  • In his absence, veteran Stone Forsythe has started at left tackle while Las Vegas ranks last in rushing and has allowed the most sacks in the league.
  • With the team 2-11 and out of playoff contention, staff will decide whether he plays again this year as Philadelphia awaits and several regulars remain on the injury report.
