Kolton Miller Injury Update
Kolton Miller hurt his ankle against the Bears in Week 4. It was not just a sprain. Tests showed a hairline fracture too. This is why he’s out for a while and on injured reserve now. The Raiders have not given a clear date for when he’ll play again.
Doctors say recovery for an injury like this could take six to eight weeks. If things go smooth, Miller might return sometime between Week 11 and Week 13. But no one has confirmed this. It’s only an estimate. The medical team and the franchise are quiet about details of his rehab or progress. So fans can’t know for sure how close he is to coming back to practice or games.
While Miller rests, Stone Forsythe plays left tackle for the Raiders. The difference has been obvious. Forsythe has allowed more sacks and pressures than Miller. The offensive line is struggling. The running game looked good in Miller’s last game, but since his injury, things have been up and down.
Pete Carroll—the Raiders coach—said Forsythe is the first choice. Rookie Charles Grant could also get snaps. Their performance so far isn’t close to Miller’s usual level. Miller is still seen as their top offensive lineman, with a good contract signed earlier this year.
Miller missed some time last year with a shoulder problem. This season started rough for the team, then got worse with this new injury. Raiders fans want updates. Right now, nothing new has come from the club. Miller has started in 111 out of 113 career games. His absence is a blow for the Raiders. Without updates, it’s a wait-and-see. Expect the team to announce any big news before he’s ready to play again.
Miller is working to get healthy. But the timetable is not clear. The Raiders need him back if they want to fix their offensive line. For now, he’s sidelined.
