Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants and won't return. He's been replaced by QB Kenny Pickett. We'll see who mercifully ends Vegas' season against the Chiefs next weekend.

Update: Smith has a high-ankle sprain, HC Pete Carroll said after the game. He's a long shot to play vs. Kansas City.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Texans but is not a recommended play in any fantasy format. Vegas is implied for a pathetic 11.75 points.

Raiders QB Geno Smith was knocked out in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with a right shoulder injury. He threw for 116 yards and a score before exiting. QB Kenny Pickett handled mop up duty, completing 5 of 7 passes for 64 yards and 1 TD. We'll look for more info on Smith's injury, but this will continue to be a QB room to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Raiders QB Geno Smith is not on the Week 11 injury report. He suffered a quad contusion in last Thursday night's loss to the Broncos but is good to go for this Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Smith has been incredibly volatile this season, but this matchup against the league's worst QB defense should swing him toward the upside.

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered a quad contusion in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos, HC Pete Carroll said afterward. Smith battled through the injury but could barely move. Asked whether the injury could cost Smith time going forward, Carroll said, "I don’t know that. It’s a thigh bruise. It’s not like some other injuries, it’s not one that he can’t get back from." Smith gets 10 days to heal up before the Raiders host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11. If Smith can't go, QB Kenny Pickett would get the start. And if you thought this offense stunk with Geno ...

The Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak as their OC, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It'll be Kubiak's third OC gig, following stints with the Vikings (2021) and Saints (2024). That Vikings squad finished 12th in total yards and 14th in points. The 2024 Saints got off to a hot start, scoring 91 points over the first two games of the season. But they averaged just 16.5 points per game the rest of the way, due at least in part to injuries to QB Derek Carr and the offensive line. Kubiak's Saints ranked 19th in neutral pass rate and 25th in pass rate over expected. The 2021 Vikings -- quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins -- finished 12th in neutral pass rate and 17th in pass rate over expected. The 2025 Seahawks figure to be a more balanced offense than last year's version, which ranked third in neutral pass rate and sixth in pass rate over expected.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (knee) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings, and it doesn’t look like the knee will be a major factor. Smith still sits well outside QB1 territory in the Week 16 Rankings. He's finished outside the top 18 QBs in fantasy points in five straight.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s ready to go for Sunday’s game against a banged-up Titans defense. Smith checks in 12th in the Week 16 QB Rankings.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Seahawks QB Geno Smith aggravated his groin injury and now has an "uphill battle" to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. It sounds like we should expect QB Drew Lock to start that one. We're updating Seattle projections now.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) won't play vs. the 49ers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Smith suffered what ESPN's Adam Schefter termed a two-week groin injury in Thursday's practice. We'll see if Smith can make it back for next Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. QB Drew Lock starts today for the first time since 2021. He's a significant downgrade from Smith for Seattle's pass catchers.

Update: Smith is officially INACTIVE.

The Seahawks are not expected to decide on QB Geno Smith's status for today's game vs. the 49ers until pregame warmups, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Smith suffered what's considered a two-week groin injury in Thursday's practice, per Schefter. "The Seahawks sounded guarded and uncertain Saturday night after they arrived in San Francisco," Schefter writes. "As tough as Smith is, they know there's a real possibility they could be without him Sunday." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has a similar report, saying Smith's status is "up in the air" and that QB Drew Lock is "preparing to start." We won't get Seattle's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET for this 4:05 kickoff. At this point, we're working under the assumption that it'll be Lock at QB today. That's bad news for the Seahawks skill-position players, particularly the WRs.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a groin issue. We don't have any other details on the situation. We'll see what Smith does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report. Of course, he was already a shaky Week 14 fantasy play vs. San Francisco's fifth-ranked QB defense.
