Smith Suffers High-Ankle Sprain, Out for Week 18; Pickett to Start

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered a high-ankle sprain in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. He was injured while attempting to tackle safety Dane Belton after throwing his second interception. Smith completed 20 of 28 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions before his exit. With a high-ankle sprain typically requiring multiple weeks to recover, Kenny Pickett is expected to start in Week 18 against the Chiefs, with the Raiders now in position for the No. 1 overall pick.
