Raiders news: Kolton Miller still out of practice, Alec Ingold returns

The Las Vegas Raiders received mixed injury reports on Wednesday as they began preparation for Sunday’s home game against the Denver Broncos.

Left tackle Kolton Miller – who missed Sunday’s game with an ankle injury – is still out of practice, but full-back Alec Ingold was back on the pitch.

Ingold had to go to a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday after injuring his ribs in the second quarter of the Raiders’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He returned home that night and had x-rays on Monday, prompting Raiders coach Jon Gruden to say he was concerned about Ingold’s health. Again. the fact that he was on the training ground on Wednesday was good news.

The other good news for the Raiders was that backing pass defenseman Arden Key was on the pitch after missing two games with a foot injury.

However, in addition to Miller, right tackle Trent Brown and left guard Richie Incognito did not practice on Wednesday. Brown is on the NFL reserve / COVID-19 list and Incognito is on the injured reserve. It’s likely Incognito will return sooner than Brown, who would miss a month.

Moreover, starting cornerback Trayvon Mullen was left out after leaving Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury. If he can’t play on Sunday, Isaiah Johnson will likely play. Johnson saved the win over the Chargers in back-to-back games in the end zone at the end of the game.

In addition, defensive tackle Maurice Hurst, who missed the Chargers game with an ankle injury, did not train on Wednesday. The Raiders will know more about their injury status for Sunday’s game on Friday, but Wednesday offered both positive and negative injury results.
