Update: 2025-12-11
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders, facing a seventh consecutive loss, are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week Fifteen. Starting quarterback Geno Smith is injured, potentially keeping him out. However, head coach Pete Carroll has confidence in backup Kenny Pickett, who previously won a Super Bowl with the Eagles. Picketts strong preparation and practice performance have Carroll hopeful for success. The teams focus is not on playoffs but on draft positioning, with speculation around securing a top prospect like Fernando Mendoza. If Pickett starts, it could serve as an evaluation for his potential as a bridge quarterback next year.
