Raiders’ Jackson Powers-Johnson Questionable After Ankle Injury

Jackson Powers-Johnson, the right guard for the Raiders, suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of the game. This incident occurred on the second play, which raised immediate concerns for his return.

Injury Details

Powers-Johnson appeared to roll his left ankle while engaged in a block against John Franklin-Myers. The impact was severe enough to leave him on the ground in visible pain, requiring assistance to leave the field. Afterward, he was examined in the sideline medical tent.

Current Status

As of now, the team has labeled him as questionable to return. However, the severity of the situation suggests a tough road ahead for the player.

Replacement and Team Implications

  • Alex Cappa has stepped in to fill the right guard position.
  • Additionally, the Raiders were already missing starting left tackle Kolton Miller.

At this stage, the Raiders hold a 7-0 lead over the Denver Broncos, but the injury to Powers-Johnson could have significant implications for the team’s performance moving forward.
