Powers-Johnson Goes Down in Red Zone Drills, and the O-Line Depth Chart Gets Thin

Jackson Powers-Johnson left Sunday's training camp practice with the training staff after going down during the red zone period. No diagnosis has been made public, and his current status is listed as Active — so this isn't necessarily a long-term situation. But the timing is uncomfortable regardless.

The offensive line is exactly where this team cannot afford disruption. Ashton Jeanty, Brock Bowers, and Tre Tucker are the engine of what Las Vegas wants to do offensively in 2026, and all three depend on a front that can hold its assignments in tight spaces — the same tight spaces, incidentally, where the Raiders kept losing games last year. The depth chart behind Powers-Johnson runs through Jordan Meredith, William Sweet, and Tyler Linderbaum. Whether any of them are ready to step in without a drop-off is the question camp needs to answer quickly.

The Raiders have been managing a lot of moving parts this offseason — the secondary uncertainty with Jermod McCoy still Questionable, the Devin White departure, the Fatukasi signing I noted yesterday. Most of those were defensive concerns. This one lands on the other side of the ball, and it's worth watching closely over the next few days to see whether Powers-Johnson returns to practice or this becomes something more significant heading into Week 1.
