Raiders quarterback Geno Smith hurt as Las Vegas season hits new low
The Las Vegas Raiders endured another setback Thursday night, losing 10-7 to the Denver Broncos while quarterback Geno Smith suffered an injury. The defeat marked one of the lowest points in their troubled season.
Smith threw for 143 yards with one interception before getting injured early in the fourth quarter. Attempting to scramble past Denver linebacker Nik Bonitto, Smith took contact to his right knee, stumbled, and was then brought down by Malcolm Roach.
After the hit, Smith briefly left the game, replaced by Kenny Pickett. He later re-entered but was soon listed as questionable to return due to a left quadriceps issue.
The team also saw two offensive linemen—Dylan Parham and Jackson Powers-Johnson—exit with ankle injuries. According to coach Pete Carroll, Powers-Johnson is expected to miss significant time.
"It was a brutal night for the Raiders' offense," coach Pete Carroll said, noting the unit gained only 188 total yards.
The loss dropped Las Vegas to a 2-7 record, deepening the struggles of a season already marred by injuries and inconsistency.
