When looking at the 2025 NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders have had better injury luck than almost any other team in the league. They haven't exactly taken advantage of this good fortune, but this has been a positive, and good health is good health.
However, things have taken a turn for the worse lately. Jackson Powers-Johnson recently landed on the Injured Reserve, and starters Michael Mayer, Jordan Meredith and Dont'e Thornton Jr. have all missed games in recent weeks due to various ailments.
In Week 14, the team's injury attrition continued. Not only did starting cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly tear his patellar tendon, meaning he'll be out for the season, but starting quarterback Geno Smith went down with two injuries, and his status for Week 15's game is in serious jeopardy.
