Geno Smith Injury: Raiders QB Likely to Miss Eagles Game, Kenny Pickett Would Start
Geno Smith is doubtful for Week 15 due to a shoulder injury; Kenny Pickett could start with the Raiders holding a 2-11 record and one of the NFL's lowest-scoring offenses.
- On Sunday Kenny Pickett is in line to start at Lincoln Financial Field against the Philadelphia Eagles, with Aidan O'Connell as his backup, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports.
- After taking a hit late in the third quarter, Geno Smith left last week's game with a shoulder injury and did not practice on Wednesday as tests showed no structural damage.
- Pickett entered in relief and completed eight of 11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown against Denver, and he spent 2024 backing up Jalen Hurts, starting one game — a 41-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
- The Raiders sit 2-11 with one of the NFL's lowest-scoring offenses; Coach Pete Carroll said he will start Geno Smith if available but won't play him if he's not right.
- If Pickett starts, it will be his fourth appearance and first start this year against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, offering a homecoming and a chance to prove himself while the Eagles face a three-game losing streak.
