Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith sustained an injury during the fourth quarter in the Week 10 game against the Denver Broncos. The injury occurred as Smith was scrambling, with early indications pointing to a knee or ankle issue, though no official confirmation has been provided.
While Smith is sidelined, backup quarterback Kenny Pickett has taken over on the field. The Raiders have listed Smith as questionable to return after he attempted to continue playing despite the injury.
“Smith tried to get up after the play, but it was clear he was in a lot of pain and he went back down on the field as trainers rushed out to tend to him.”
The Raiders will evaluate Smith further to determine if he can return later in the game. His status remains uncertain as the medical staff continues assessment.
“The Raiders now say Smith is questionable to return to the game after he tried to gut it out.”
