Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith suffered a knee injury during Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants, forcing him to exit the game. The setback occurred when Smith was accidentally knocked to the ground by teammate Dylan Parham while attempting to chase down a defender on a return. Smith, who had already thrown two interceptions, was in visible pain as trainers attended to him before he was helped to the sideline. He eventually made his way to the locker room for further evaluation, limping and appearing uncomfortable while walking off. The injury is a significant blow to the 2-13 Raiders, who were already struggling with turnovers and repeated punishment in the pocket. Before leaving the game, Smith completed 20 of his 28 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown. A disturbing video of Smith struggling to walk in the locker room surfaced on social media, adding to the concern for his well-being. Kenny Pickett replaced Smith, who was intercepted twice and sacked three times, as the Raiders trailed 10-27 at the time of his departure.
