The Las Vegas Raiders are dealing with a significant blow to their offensive line following an ankle injury sustained by starting right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson. It was a serious loss during a hard-fought game in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. Right at the end of the first week, on Thursday night, November 7, 2025, the Raiders dropped a heartbreaking game, 10-7.
Powers-Johnson went down with an injury and was quickly ruled out of the game. This forced the Raiders to play without three of their starting five offensive linemen. His absence will complicate the team’s efforts to maintain stability and performance on the field. The former Oregon star has already established himself as an unexpected key piece of the Raiders offense since getting traded to Oakland.
Ryan McFadden, who covers the Raiders for ESPN’s NFL Nation, reported on the injury, emphasizing its impact on the team’s current situation. The Raiders have found themselves in a major shuffling of their offensive front. Veteran left tackle Kolton Miller is on IR with an ankle injury.
Perhaps nothing rattled this team’s confidence more than their 34-0 loss to the Denver Broncos. It provoked utter outrage over their capacity to appropriately compete in the new upcoming Olympics. The Raiders need to make aggressive moves to get replacements for the holes created by these injuries. They’re preparing for their next opponents.
