Key Raiders Out vs. Texans: Injury Report Update
18 Dec
Summary
- Maxx Crosby and Jeremy Chinn did not practice Wednesday.
- Kolton Miller's return window opened, with limited practice.
- Geno Smith fully participated in practice, expected to start.

As the Raiders prepare to face the Houston Texans this Sunday, the team's injury report for Week 16 has revealed notable absences. Defensive End Maxx Crosby and Safety Jeremy Chinn did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Despite these absences, there is reportedly little concern as both players have managed to play in previous games after missing practices.
Meanwhile, the status of offensive tackle Kolton Miller remains uncertain. He returned to practice last week but was not activated from injured reserve, where he has been for two months. His 21-day window for returning to the active roster has now opened, and he was limited during Wednesday's practice.
Quarterback Geno Smith was a full participant in practice on Wednesday after missing the previous game due to shoulder and back injuries. His full participation suggests he will reclaim his starting position, with Kenny Pickett having started in his place against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Texans also reported eight players not practicing, though further updates are expected.
