Geno Smith Ruled Out for Week 18, Season Ends Due to Ankle Injury

Quarterback Geno Smith has been officially ruled out for Week 18 against the Chiefs due to an ankle injury, effectively ending his season. Coach Pete Carroll indicated that Kenny Pickett and Aidan O'Connell would rotate at quarterback in the finale. Smith finishes his first season with the Raiders with 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions in 15 games, and despite being under contract, the team may consider drafting a quarterback with a top pick.
