Raiders Deliver Rare Good News Ahead of High-Stakes Cowboys Game
This has been a season from hell for the Las Vegas Raiders. Injuries, inconsistent play and poor coaching have contributed. Good news has been few and far between for this team in 2025.
One major injury that has contributed to the rough season is left tackle Kolton Miller. After four games, he suffered a serious ankle injury that led to him being sent to Injured Reserve. At first, it looked like he could be out for the year, but head coach Pete Carroll had an exciting update.
“Yeah, I do,” Carroll said when asked if he thinks Miller can return this season. “He’s getting around okay, and everything’s pointing towards that.”
Stone Forsythe has been OK as a replacement for Miller, but the longtime Raiders starter is one of the better left tackles in the NFL. The team’s offensive line has played very poorly this year, and Miller is the best player in the group.
Jackson Powers-Johnson is likely out for the season now, so the Raiders are down two starters. Getting Miller back would be helpful, but it remains to be seen what the timeline for his possible return could be. If the Raiders continue to lose, they might just hold Miller out for the rest of the season and let him get back to full strength for next year.
Raiders Hoping to Improve on Little Things
The Raiders are hoping to break a three-game losing streak against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. Luckily, they’ve had a mini bye week between playing on Thursday in Week 10 and not having to play until Monday in Week 11.
The Raiders haven’t done much of anything right this season, and now they’re focusing on the details.
“The details are everything,” running back Ashton Jeanty said. “And you may not think it’s the play where you messed up, but more times than not, it is that play that can change the game in a bad way for you and your team. So every single detail, every single play matters.”
Quarterback Geno Smith echoed a similar sentiment to Jeanty.
“I really think that the lesson is that you’ve got to make the play when the play needs to be made,” Smith said. “And that goes for all of us, and myself more importantly. I’ve just got to make the plays and allow the guys to be themselves.”
Raiders Want Brock Bowers More Involved
The Raiders didn’t have Brock Bowers for much of the season due to an injury, but he’s easily their best offensive weapon. Despite that, they were inconsistent with how they used him in Week 10 against the Broncos.
Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is hoping to get the ball to Bowers more often the rest of the way.
“We have to get him involved,” Kelly said on Friday. “He’s obviously our number one threat out there, and we’ve got to continue to get him involved in terms of what we do. Jacksonville and New England were a good example. We didn’t do a good job, I didn’t do a good job in the Denver game.”
