Geno Smith's Week 16 Status Uncertain Amid Shoulder/Back Injury

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith's status for Week 16 remains uncertain due to shoulder and back injuries. Head Coach Pete Carroll declined to confirm if Smith will practice or play against the Texans, with Kenny Pickett poised to start again if Smith is sidelined. Smith missed Week 15's loss to the Eagles, and despite prior optimism from Carroll, a clearer update on his health isn't expected until Wednesday's practice report.
