Geno Smith's Shoulder Injury Raises Concerns for Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are facing a significant challenge as quarterback Geno Smith is expected to miss this Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Smith was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury and is now considered "unlikely to play" against the defending Super Bowl champions.

This unfortunate news places backup quarterback Kenny Pickett in the spotlight, as he is poised to make the start in what many anticipate will be a tough contest against the Eagles. The Raiders will be looking to adjust their game plan accordingly, ensuring that Pickett is prepared to lead the offense against a formidable opponent.

As updates become available regarding Smith’s condition and the Raiders' preparations, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on how this situation develops.
