Powers-Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out for Las Vegas' matchup versus the Chargers on Monday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
ANALYSIS

Healthy ahead of Week 3
Powers-Johnson (illness) did not appear on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Powers-Johnson appears to be feeling better after missing the first two weeks of the season with an illness. The 21-year-old will be back in his role as a top reserve option behind Cody Whitehair and Dylan Parham at offensive guard ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Panthers at home.
Sep 15, 2024
Still ill
Powers-Johnson (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Powers-Johnson was unable to suit up for Week 1 for the same reason. He was able to log three limited practices this week, so he may be on the mend and ready to make his NFL debut next Sunday against the Panthers.
Sep 13, 2024
Questionable for Week 2
Powers-Johnson (illness) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Powers-Johnson didn't suit up in Week 1 due to the illness, and he's at risk of sitting out Sunday as well. The offensive lineman was a limited participant in all three practice sessions this week, so he could be a game-time call. If Jackson-Powers suits up, he'll be making his regular-season professional debut after being selected by Las Vegas in the second round of April's NFL Draft.
Sep 11, 2024
Remains limited Wednesday
Powers-Johnson (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Powers-Johnson still appears to be dealing with the illness that forced him to miss Las Vegas' Week 1 loss to the Chargers. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a greater indication of whether he'll be able to make his NFL debut in Week 2. If Powers-Johnson is still unable to go Sunday, expect Jordan Meredith to serve as the Raiders' top backup guard.
Sep 6, 2024
Missing Week 1
Powers-Johnson (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 second-round pick from Oregon will have to put his NFL debut on hold, as he's missing Las Vegas' regular-season opener due to an illness. Expect Jordan Meredith to serve as the Raiders' top reserve guard in Powers-Johnson's stead.
Aug 21, 2024

Powers-Johnson is not expected to play until the Raiders' regular season opener against the Chargers on Sept. 8, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Powers-Johnson was activated off the active/PUP list Aug. 14, but head coach Antonio Pierce said Wednesday that he doesn't expect to see the 21-year-old on the field until Week 1. Powers-Johnson was selected in the second round (44th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft and he's competing for a starting role at interior offensive line this season.

ANALYSIS

He's eligible to return to practice and play at any point this preseason and once healthy, the 21-year-old appears to be geared up for a starting role on the offensive line for Las Vegas.
