Overview
- Kolton Miller was designated for return on Dec. 10 and took part in limited practice, starting the NFL’s 21-day clock for a possible activation from injured reserve.
- Head coach Pete Carroll said Miller is “getting close,” while the left tackle described his status as day to day with no commitment to game action.
- Miller has been out since Sept. 28 with a high right-ankle sprain and a hairline fracture suffered in the Week 4 loss to Chicago.
- In his absence, Stone Forsythe has started at left tackle as the Raiders have fallen to last in rushing and lead the league in sacks allowed.
- At 2-11 with Geno Smith missing practice due to a shoulder issue, the team faces external debate over medical risk and potential draft-position implications if Miller returns late in the season.
