"Powers-Johnson was injured in the second quarter of Thursday night's 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos. The second-year lineman rolled his ankle while Denver edge rusher Nik Bonitto sacked Raiders quarterback Geno Smith. The former Oregon standout was helped off the field and eventually carted into the locker room. Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said postgame that he expected Powers-Johnson to be out "for a while.""
"With Powers-Johnson sidelined, the Raiders will be without at least two starters on the offensive line when they play the Dallas Cowboys next week on Monday Night Football. Starting left tackle Kolton Miller has been on the injured reserve since Oct. 2 due to a high ankle sprain and a hairline fracture, which he suffered in Week 4's loss to the Chicago Bears."
Jackson Powers-Johnson is expected to be placed on injured reserve and could miss the remainder of the season because of an ankle injury. He rolled his ankle in the second quarter of the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos while edge rusher Nik Bonitto sacked quarterback Geno Smith. Powers-Johnson was helped off and carted to the locker room; coach Pete Carroll said he expected the player to be out "for a while." Surgery is not expected. With Powers-Johnson sidelined, the Raiders will have at least two offensive-line starters missing, as Kolton Miller is already on injured reserve and Dylan Parham suffered a high ankle sprain.
