Breaking: Raiders rookie G Jackson Powers-Johnson to make debut vs Panthers

Jackson Powers-Johnson will make debut vs Panthers

Sunday when the Panthers come to town, the Raiders will finally get to see their rookie guard Jackson Powers-Johnson take the field. Head coach Antonio Pierce said Powers-Johnson will play this week in the home opener when the Raiders face the Panthers.

Powers-Johnson was supposed to be the team’s starting left guard from day one. But an undisclosed injury had him out much of the offseason and all of training camp. Then an illness caused him to miss the first two games of the season.

“He had a really good week of practice last week,” Pierce said of his rookie guard. “If you watched the game, he was one of the biggest guys getting everybody pumped up on the sideline. Just that energy, that fountain of youth and obviously that aggressiveness that he has. I’m looking forward to seeing it and like all of us when he gets in the game, eyes will be right to him.”

In his absence, the Raiders haven’t exactly had solid play at the position. Cody Whitehair started the opener. They swapped him out for Andrus Peat last week before benching Peat and bringing Whitehair back in for the second half.

Also returning to practice for the Raiders was DE Tyree Wilson who suffered a sprained knee early in the season opener against the Chargers. Wilson was limited in practice, so it remains to be seen if his return to practice will mean he is ready to play Sunday when the Panthers come to town.

Missing from practice was Divine Deablo (oblique/concussion) and DeCamerion Richardson (hamstring). Several others were limited, which means their status will be something to monitor as the week goes on.

The Panthers had two players missing with injury Wednesday including DE A’Shawn Robinson (knee) and DT Sky Tuttle (foot).

Among them is rookie round two pick Jackson Powers-Johnson. The Round two rookie missed all of camp with an undisclosed injury. Then he was out the first week with an illness. Now he’s missing a second game after being limited all week and was a game time decision.

The full inactive list is as follows:

DE Tyree Wilson
RB Dylan Laube
CB DeCamerion Richardson
WR Tyreik McAllister
S Thomas Harper
G Jackson Powers-Johnson
WR Ramel Keyton

The Ravens put out their inactives as well.

Raiders G Jackson Powers-Johnson to be game time decision Week 2 vs Ravens

Looks like the Raiders could once again be without rookie G Jackson Powers-Johnson this week

A few weeks ago, there seemed no reason the Raiders would be without Jackson Powers-Johnson to open the season. The rookie round two pick had missed all of camp with an undisclosed injury, but returned a couple weeks before the season opener.

And while this doesn’t guarantee he would be play or even be active for the game, that figured to be a decision based solely around whether he was up to speed and in game shape.

The situation now is back to being about his health. He showed up on the injury report last week with an illness and this week continues to be limited by that illness. Leading Antonio Pierce to put him in a wait-and-see mode for Week 2.

Pierce said Friday that Powers-Johnson will be a game time decision when the Raiders travel to Baltimore. Which suggests the plan is for hi to travel with the team, but whether he is active will depend on how he feels at that time. Though it’s also possible that even if he feels fine, he might not be ready due to how much time he’s missed.

Not a great thing to be without a player the team drafted with the intention of immediately inserting him as their starting left guard.

Cody Whitehair is again expected to start at left guard this week and until if and when the team feels a change should be made.

Raiders, Ravens Week 2 injury report: Kolton Miller, Andre James both limited

Kolton Miller, Andre James both limited for Raiders on Wednesday

It’s fair to say that no two linemen on the Raiders had a rougher season opener than Kolton Miller and Andre James. A few days later and they may be still recovering from that ordeal.

Both Miller (knee) and James (elbow) showed up on the Raiders injury report on Wednesday. Both were limited.

Returning to practice after his illness that kept him out of the opener is rookie second round guard Jackson Powers-Johnson. He too was limited.

As expected, Tyree Wilson missed practice with the sprained knee he suffered last Sunday. Rookie CB DeCamerion Richardson was also not practicing.

The only player missing for the Ravens was OLB Kyle Van Noy.

Rookie fifth round pick Tommy Eichenberg (knee) is officially Questionable for the Raiders.

The Chargers will be without starting receiver DJ Chark for the game. Which means the starting receivers will be Quentin Johnston and Josh Palmer.

They also have a couple cornerbacks who are questionable, including starter Asante Samuel who was limited Friday with a shoulder injury.

Raiders rookie G Jackson Powers-Johnson comes off PUP, but season readiness in doubt

Jackson Powers-Johnson unlikely to be ready for the start of the season despite coming off PUP list.

It’s been some time since we saw Jackson Powers-Johnson take the practice field. He’s been on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list all of camp so far. That all will end today as he has come off the PUP list and will take the field for the team’s open practice at Allegiant Wednesday night.

“He’ll be at practice today. Hell be limited,” said head coach Antonio Pierce. “And like anybody else we got to ramp him back up. He has a few weeks, we got a few weeks before the game.”

Since Powers-Johnson has been out, veteran Cody Whitehair has been taking first team snaps at left guard. And that looks to continue for the foreseeable future, including when the regular season arrives.

“To sit there and say he’ll probably be a starter day one? Eh, probably not,” Pierce continued. “But I think it’s always smart with rookies not a rush him. First of all, it’s learning curve, then it’s getting in there and getting back into practice shape and game shape. So, he’s got a way to go and I think he’s done a good job off to the side on his own. Now he’s back, he’s off PUP and we’re excited to have him back.”

The Raiders selected Powers-Johnson with the 44th overall pick in April’s draft with the hopes of making the Rimington Award winner their every day starting left guard immediately. That plan will be on hold for now.
