Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith suffered an injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 10 game against the Denver Broncos. The exact nature of the injury—possibly to his knee or ankle—has not been confirmed.
Smith was hurt while trying to scramble in the fourth quarter. After the play, he attempted to stand but was clearly in pain and returned to the ground as trainers attended to him.
With Smith sidelined, backup quarterback Kenny Pickett replaced him. The Raiders’ status updates indicated Smith was questionable to return to the game.
"Smith was able to walk off under his own power, but he was clearly hobbled. He'll get checked out on the sideline."
"We'll update this page once more information is available."
