LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith suffered a right shoulder injury against the Denver Broncos on Sunday and was replaced by Kenny Pickett at the start of the fourth quarter.

Smith did not return, and the Raiders lost 24-17.

“From what I understand, I didn’t see the play happen, but he got banged on his shoulder,” Raiders coach Pete Carroll said. “It’s just kind of jammed up right now. The early indications that they were able to get didn’t show any damage. His shoulder's really locked up, so we’ll see what that means.”

Smith finished 13 of 21 for 116 yards and a touchdown. Trainers were also seen working on Smith’s right hand before his final series.

“What I heard, he got his hand cut,” Carroll added. “And so they just had to stop the bleeding.”
