Overview

  • Ian Rapoport reports the starting right guard could miss the remainder of the 2025 season after being placed on Injured Reserve.
  • Powers-Johnson rolled his ankle in the second quarter of the Week 10 loss to Denver when Nik Bonitto sacked Geno Smith, then was helped off and carted to the locker room.
  • ESPN reports no surgery is anticipated for the second-year lineman, though his return timetable remains uncertain beyond the IR minimum.
  • The loss further strains a line already missing left tackle Kolton Miller and dealing with Dylan Parham’s high ankle sprain from the Broncos game.
  • Veteran Alex Cappa is the leading candidate to step in at right guard, with young options Caleb Rogers and Will Putnam also in consideration as Las Vegas prepares for Dallas.
