Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said that he didn't have an update on Monday on quarterback Geno Smith's right-shoulder injury that he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. "I won't know for a couple of days," Carroll said. Smith injured his fingers and shoulder in Week 14, but it was his right-shoulder injury that knocked him out of the game in the second half, and he never returned. The 35-year-old apparently avoided serious damage to his throwing shoulder, but the lack of an update suggests Smith's availability for Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles is up in the air. At this point, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the struggling Raiders give backup Kenny Pickett his first start of the year against his former team. Smith has been a bust in his first year in Vegas, completing 67% of his passes for 2,648 yards and 16 touchdowns. He leads the league in interceptions (16) and sacks taken (49).

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (hand, shoulder) left the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos due to a right shoulder injury, as well as a cut to his right hand. Head coach Pete Carroll said Sunday, Dec. 7 that the shoulder 'locked up', but tests did not show any damage. He was 13-of-21 for 116 yards, one touchdown and four rushing yards before departing.

Fantasy Spin: With Smith exiting, Kenny Pickett finished the game. When healthy, Smith is only worth a look as a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues, so no real loss here. If Pickett to start, he would also only be a low-end QB2 in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (shoulder) was ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in the fourth quarter. Smith received tape on his fingers for abrasions he suffered earlier in the game, but ultimately it was a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the 24-17 loss. The veteran quarterback continued to play through that until suffering a shoulder injury. Smith landed hard on his shoulder and was immediately taken to the locker room. Kenny Pickett took over under center for the rest of Sunday's game. Smith completed 13 of 21 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown before exiting the game. It's unclear at the moment if he'll be ready to play against the Philadelphia Eagles next week, but even if he is, the Raiders might decide to turn to Pickett or Aidan O'Connell under center.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (shoulder) is questionable to return after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's game against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Smith was taken to the ground and landed hard on his shoulder in the second half, which resulted in his departure from the contest. He was replaced by Kenny Pickett, with Aidan O'Connell serving as the emergency third QB. Smith completed 13 of 21 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown before hurting his shoulder. With less than five minutes left in this game, it's probably unlikely that Smith will return. If Smith is unable to play next week, Pickett would likely make the start in Week 15 versus his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.

Fantasy Spin: Smith threw two touchdowns last week but has been held to one touchdown or less in six of his last eight games. He will be facing a very good Denver Broncos defense this week, so he can be avoided in most leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Alex Bachman (thumb), TE Michael Mayer (ankle), and WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 14 against the Denver Broncos. S Jeremy Chinn (back) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as questionable. LB Jamal Adams (knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. OL Jordan Meredith (ankle) and G Dylan Parham (back) practiced in full on Friday and are listed as questionable. C Will Putnam (shoulder) and QB Geno Smith (foot) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (foot) practiced in full on Thursday. This was an improvement for the veteran quarterback after he had logged a limited practice session on Wednesday. Assuming Smith remains a full participant on Friday, he should enter the weekend without any injury designation, leaving him on track to play in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos. In his last game against Denver, the 35-year-old had 143 passing yards, zero touchdowns, one interception, and six sacks. He has been sacked 25 times over his last four games and will remain outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks for Sunday's divisional battle.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Smith missed some practice time earlier this week but in on track to play in the Week 14 game. He struggled against the Denver Broncos earlier in the season and has thrown at least two touchdowns in only one of the last four games. Fantasy players should have better options available and can avoid Smith.

Las Vegas Raiders LB Jamal Adams (knee), WR Alex Bachman (thumb), DE Maxx Crosby (knee), TE Michael Mayer (ankle) and WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 4. OG Jordan Meredith (ankle) and OG Dylan Parham (back) were limited during practice. C Will Putnam (shoulder) and QB Geno Smith (foot) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. It's a new injury for Smith and is something that we'll be keeping a close eye on as the team prepares for a Week 14 divisional game on Sunday against the visiting Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old veteran has had a rough first season in Vegas and will be a QB3 in fantasy football if he plays this weekend against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Broncos have the most sacks in the NFL through 13 weeks, and the Raiders' offensive line has not done a good job of protecting Smith at all this year. It's a bad combination, especially if Smith's mobility is limited by his foot. In the loss to Denver on Nov. 6, Smith went 16-for-26 passing for 143 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (foot) was listed as a limited participant for practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Fantasy Spin: Smith tossed a pair of touchdowns on the road against the LA Chargers this past Sunday, his first game with multiple touchdowns since Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith has tailed off quite a bit this season, and he should only be considered as a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 14.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 18-of-23 passes for 165 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, while running twice for minus-6 yards.

Fantasy Spin: Smith had just his second multiple touchdown game in the past eight starts. He cannot be trusted as anything more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues at this point.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith took a career-high 10 sacks in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns and completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards with a touchdown. The offense could look a little different in Week 13 against the Chargers after the Raiders dismissed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week, with Greg Olson taking over. Smith will look to bounce back on Sunday against the Chargers and deliver a better performance than when they met back in Week 2, where he threw three interceptions. Smith isn't a recommended fantasy option in Week 13, ranking as RotoBaller's QB30 for the week.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 30-of-44 yards with 285 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, and he rushed three times for eight yards with one fumble lost.

Fantasy Spin: Smith's passing yardage total was his best since Week 3, when he had 289 yards in a loss in Washington. Still, he has just two touchdown throws in the past three games, and he is nothing more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues right now.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith had an underwhelming game in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, completing 27 of 42 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Across 10 games, the 35-year-old has completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 2,082 yards, 12 touchdowns, and a league-high 13 interceptions. Smith has also been sacked on 9.1% of his drop-backs as he plays with a Raiders offensive line that has been hit hard by both injuries and underperformance. The job won't get any easier for Smith in Week 12, as he'll take on star edge rusher Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. Through 11 weeks, the Browns have allowed the fewest passing yards (1,874) and recorded the fifth most sacks (32) in the NFL. Even in two-quarterback formats, Smith profiles as a player for fantasy managers to avoid in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during the team's Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Smith, who was sacked four times, also had 14 yards on four rushing attempts.

Fantasy Spin: It was a tough night for Smith, who had a good matchup against a Cowboys secondary that has been routinely exploited throughout the season. As ever, you can't lay all of the Las Vegas' struggles on the veteran QB, as the offensive line had issues in protection while also effectively abandoning the run, and the team lacks difference makers in the receiving game outside of Brock Bowers. While Smith has had a couple of big games this season, he's a fringe QB2 candidate at best, and you'd be forgiven for targeting a higher upside reserve in standard leagues if one is available.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 14 yards on 4 carries on the ground in Monday night's 33-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Raiders came out with a pass-heavy game plan with only eight designed running back carries all game, but Smith couldn't take advantage of a poor Dallas defense. His 42 pass attempts were the most since Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old has mostly struggled in his first season in Las Vegas, throwing more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (11) and exceeding 300 yards passing just once, which came all the way back in Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for Smith in Week 12 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith hasn't had his best season through nine games and is coming off another tough performance in Week 10 at the Denver Broncos. Smith completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and an interception, while also taking a season high six sacks. The 35-year-old came out of the game briefly for Kenny Pickett due to a bruised quadriceps injury, but was able to return and finish the game. Smith had the mini-bye after playing on Thursday night to rest the injury and heads into Monday night without an injury designation. The veteran hasn't been a playable fantasy option in most leagues in his first year in Las Vegas, but he has appeal as a QB2 streamer against a poor Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks on Monday night. Smith ranks as RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (quadriceps) is not included on the Week 11 injury report as the team gets ready to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to the team's website. Smith was in some pain last Thursday night against the Denver Broncos when he suffered a bruised quadriceps, and he was even replaced in the game for a bit by Kenny Pickett. The 35-year-old eventually returned to finish the 10-7 loss, but he was hobbling around pretty good. The extra time off heading into Week 11 appears to have done the veteran QB some good, and he should be fine to play against Dallas on Monday after practicing in full on Wednesday. Smith has mostly been a liability for fantasy managers in his first year in Vegas, but he'll have some QB2 streaming appeal this week against a bad Cowboys secondary.
