Raiders offense: Jackson Powers-Johnson starting can rekindle offensive line

The Las Vegas Raiders caught a glimpse of what rookie guard Jackson Powers-Johnson can do this past Sunday.

And from what head coach Antonio Pierce saw, the Silver & Black can expect to see more of the second-round pick as the season progresses.

“Yes, he did,” Pierce simply said when asked if the No. 44 overall pick from the 2024 NFL Draft earned more time after watching film from the team’s 36-22 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.

Playing in 21 snaps at right guard against Carolina — in place of usual starter Dylan Parham — Powers-Johnson exhibited the stout nature of his game in Las Vegas’ home opener.
