Overview

  • Miller was injured in the final minute of the Week 4 loss to the Bears and was carted off after trainers evaluated his right ankle.
  • Further testing revealed a high-ankle sprain and a hairline fracture, and the injured-reserve designation sidelines him for at least four games under NFL rules.
  • Carroll identified Stone Forsythe as the top replacement at left tackle, with rookie Charles Grant set to compete for playing time.
  • The Raiders made corresponding moves by signing undrafted tight end Carter Runyon to the active roster and adding tackle Leroy Watson IV to the practice squad.
  • The setback removes the Raiders’ most consistent lineman shortly after a strong Week 4 showing up front and comes months after Miller signed a three-year, $66 million extension.
