The Raiders followed up their loss to the Browns on Sunday afternoon by firing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly 11 games into his first season with the team.

Kelly’s work had been the subject of grumbling throughout the season, the story said. The Raiders rank near the bottom of the league in most offensive metrics, the story pointed out. A new coordinator may not drastically change the Raiders offense all that much, but fantasy owners of players like Jeanty and Bowers are hoping the team looks to get the ball in those players hands a little more for the rest of the season.

Injury was added to insult for Geno Smith in the Raiders' Thursday night loss to the Broncos.

On a night in which nothing went right for Smith and the beleaguered Las Vegas offense, the quarterback suffered a quad contusion on the opening play of the fourth quarter during the team's 10-7 loss to Denver, although head coach Pete Carroll expressed postgame it shouldn't be a long-term issue.

This will presumably be labeled "day-to-day" for now, with Pickett the most likely starter should Smith be sidelined. Next up is the Cowboys defense, so whoever mans center will actually have some fantasy appeal.

Browns are sending QB Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders, per sources.

As Schefter summarized, the Raiders needed another backup for Smith with O'Connell fracturing his wrist in the preseason finale and being expected to miss 6-8 weeks. As for the Browns, they had a logjam at the position so it makes sense Pickett would be the one moved. Now the Browns will need to settle their QB depth chart behind starter Flacco.

Geno Smith is being traded to Las Vegas Raiders for a third round pick, per sources.

We'll see where the Seahawks end up landing, but we can presume that the answer probably isn't Sam Howell. As for the Raiders, they now have a far more consistent option to bridge the gap to their future franchise QB.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith suffered a knee injury during the team’s Week 15 loss to the Packers.

While he was able to play all of Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, Smith still isn’t 100 percent — and told reporters on Tuesday and likely won’t be for some time.

Smith said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN: “It’s going to be there for a while, but you’ve got to keep pushing.” Smith did just fine in Week 16, at least as far as fantasy numbers go, completing 31-of-43 passes for 314 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the 27-24 loss to Minnesota.

Seahawks with about as clean of an injury report as there could be with only three players declared out, no one else given a game designation. That means Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet are all good to go.

Looks like we're back to the typical RB rotation in Seattle, but we would bet that Charbonnet gets more run than the early season. Consider Walker and Charbs respective RB2 and RB3s.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith, who left Sunday night’s game versus Green Bay with a knee injury, was listed as a full participant in today’s practice.

Things are looking for Geno ahead of Week 16, which is a boon to the entire offense. We'll keep an eye on his status leading up to the weekend.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith suffered a knee injury in the second half of Sunday night's 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers and did not return.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after the loss that it appeared Smith's knee was structurally OK, but the extent of the injury was unclear. Smith will undergo further evaluation on Monday.

"I'll tell you this, this guy's probably the toughest player I've been around," Macdonald said of Smith. "(It was) severe enough for him not to come back in the game. We'll do all the tests tomorrow and kind of figure it out as we go. Right now, structurally it looks like it's OK. We'll get him imaged and all that stuff."

The story said Smith wanted to go back in but couldn't and would eventually give way to Howell. The Seahawks host the Vikings in Week 16 in a later Sunday game. Owners will need to monitor Smith this week. It's not great news that it was severe enough that he couldn't go back in the game, so his status for Week 16 is very much in doubt. Howell was just 5 for 14 for 24 yards and an INT. He was also sacked four times in his limited play.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee, hip) is likely to be back at practice early this week.

Smith was banged up a bit during practice on Tuesday. Rapoport noted the MRIs came out “fine”. Smith did not participate in Seattle’s scrimmage-style practice Saturday and will have the day off Sunday. He could return possibly by Monday or Tuesday but sometime early this week. Smith has had a strong start to camp by man accounts. He is currently our QB21 heading into August drafts.

Injury update: Testing on Seahawks QB Geno Smith’s knee and hip injuries did not reveal anything significant and, as one source said, “he shouldn’t miss any time.”

Smith is unlikely to hit the field today, so more upgrades on the situation are doubtful until next week. As it stands, Geno can still be targeted in 2QB/Superflex leagues and as a late-round option in best ball, while this news might make his ADP fall even further.
