The Las Vegas Raiders have officially ruled out starting right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The decision comes after Powers-Johnson sustained a groin injury in team activities. The injury is expected to keep him out of the matchup, which pits the Raiders against their AFC West rivals.
Powers-Johnson has been a regular starter for the Raiders this season. His absence will impact the team’s offensive line depth. The Raiders have not yet announced a replacement for him. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are expected to field their full roster for the game.
This is the second time this season that Powers-Johnson has been sidelined with an injury. He missed two games earlier in the year due to a similar issue. The Raiders’ coaching staff has expressed confidence in the depth of their offensive line. However, the loss of a key player could affect the team’s performance in the critical matchup.
