HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) - Las Vegas Raiders right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson will go on injured reserve and could be out for the season because of an ankle injury, a person close to the situation told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because the transaction has not been made.
Powers-Johnson was injured in Thursday night's [10-7 loss at Denver](https://apnews.com/article/raiders-broncos-score-7453724f0a38bb7d4ceb7501d66872a0?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share).
It was the latest setback for Powers-Johnson, who was drafted in the second round in 2024 out of Oregon.
He has had trouble staying healthy since joining the Raiders, but was the expected starter at center going into training camp. However, he lost that position to Jordan Meredith and was moved to guard. Powers-Johnson competed with Alex Cappa at guard and wound up earning the starting job.
Cappa is the likely starter going forward. The Raiders host Dallas next Monday night.
