Raiders Place Jackson Powers-Johnson on IR After Ankle Injury

The move strains a line already missing starters, pushing veterans and rookies into larger roles.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the second-year right guard is being placed on injured reserve after hurting his ankle in Week 10.
  • IR status requires a minimum four-game absence, and reports indicate his season could be over.
  • He rolled his ankle as Denver’s Nik Bonitto sacked Geno Smith, was helped off the field, and was carted to the locker room.
  • Surgery is not expected for the injury, according to ESPN.
  • With LT Kolton Miller already on IR and LG Dylan Parham dealing with a high ankle sprain, options include Alex Cappa, rookie Caleb Rogers, and Will Putnam as Las Vegas works to stabilize protection before facing Dallas.
