HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller is heading to injured reserve because of a high ankle sprain, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press on Tuesday, dealing Las Vegas the loss of its best offensive lineman.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Raiders have not made an announcement regarding a medical update.
A CT scan also showed that Miller suffered a hairline fracture, according to NFL Network.
By being placed on IR, Miller will have to miss at least four games.
It's a significant loss for an offensive line that struggled the first three weeks before playing its best game against the Bears. Miller has been easily the Raiders' best lineman.
Stone Forsythe, who started 14 games over his first four seasons in Seattle, is Miller's backup. Las Vegas also could go with rookie Charles Grant when the Raiders visit Indianapolis on Sunday. Grant was drafted in the third round but has not been activated this season.
“Stone’s played a lot of football and has done a nice job for us since he’s been here, and he would be the first choice,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday. "But this is an opportunity for Charles to make a charge for it, and we’ll see how he does.”
