Coming off an impressive performance at his natural position, Las Vegas Raiders rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson is expected to remain at center Sunday when the team plays at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT.
Las Vegas head coach Antonio Pierce indicated Wednesday that starting center Andre James will remain out in Week 11. He also missed the Raiders’ last game, a Week 9 41-24 defeat at the Cincinnati Bengals. James injured his ankle in a Week 8 27-20 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Powers-Johnson is a starting guard, but center is considered his long-term position and the second-round pick starred at Oregon.
