Raiders Place RG Jackson Powers-Johnson on IR, Triggering Offensive Line Shake-Up

The decision forces Las Vegas to weigh Alex Cappa against rookie Caleb Rogers for immediate playing time on an already depleted interior line.

Overview

  • The 2024 second-rounder was moved to injured reserve after a Week 10 ankle injury, guaranteeing at least a four-game absence with multiple reports indicating the setback could be season-ending.
  • Pete Carroll said on radio the guard broke an ankle and faces roughly a six-week recovery, and reporting indicates surgery is not expected.
  • Las Vegas filled the open roster spot by promoting linebacker Jamin Davis to the active roster and added kicker Greg Joseph to the practice squad.
  • With Kolton Miller already on IR and Dylan Parham dealing with a high-ankle sprain, Carroll said Caleb Rogers will take first-team reps this week while veteran Alex Cappa remains a primary option at right guard.
  • Powers-Johnson was hurt in Denver on a play when Nik Bonitto sacked Geno Smith, and the 2-7 Raiders are shifting snaps toward younger linemen as they manage recovery timelines.
