Report: Raiders LT Kolton Miller has high-ankle sprain

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Las Vegas Raiders starting left tackle Kolton Miller could miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain, NFL Network reported Monday.

Miller limped off the field on the Raiders’ final drive during Sunday’s loss to Chicago and was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.

Miller, 30, started the first four games this season and played 250 of the team’s 251 offensive snaps.

Miller has started 111 of 113 games since the then-Oakland Raiders drafted him in the first round (15th overall) in 2018. He signed a three-year, $66 million contract extension in July with $42.5 million guaranteed.

Rookie Charles Grant, drafted in the third round in 2025 out of FCS program William & Mary, could see his first NFL action if Miller misses any time.

The Raiders (1-3) take a three-game losing streak into Indianapolis on Sunday to face the Colts (3-1).

Raiders LT Kolton Miller not taking part in voluntary offseason program

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller continues to sit out of the team’s voluntary offseason program, hoping to negotiate a contract extension.

Miller, 29, was selected by the franchise with the No. 15 overall pick of the 2018 draft. Before the 2021 season, he signed a three-year, $54 million contract extension and is due to earn a $12.2 million base salary in 2025 in the final years of the deal.

His current contract contains no guaranteed money for the upcoming season.

Raiders general manager John Spytek told reporters Friday that he does not talk about contracts.

“I’m just gonna give you our answer and it’s gonna be this going forward,” Spytek said. “We’re not gonna discuss contracts publicly and this is certainly a voluntary part of the offseason program. Guys are free to come and go as they please.”

Miller has played 109 games (107 starts) with the Raiders. His 80.6 overall Pro Football Focus grade in 2024 was 13th among tackles.

Raiders’ Kolton Miller skips voluntary workouts in search of new deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller has opted not to participate in the team’s voluntary workouts in hopes of landing a better contract, according to reports on Wedensday.

Miller, 29, has served as the Raiders’ starting left tackle since he was selected 15th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft out of UCLA. The 6-foot-8, 325-pound lineman has started 107 of 109 games over the last seven seasons and, per Pro Football Focus, ranked as the league’s 14th-best tackle in the 2024 season.

Under new coach Pete Carroll, the Raiders began voluntary workouts April 8. Per NFL rules, veterans are not required to participate in such offseason work. However, with the Raiders slated to host a voluntary minicamp April 21-23, Miller’s absence becomes more noticeable as new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, new quarterback Geno Smith and the rest of the offensive unit prepares for the upcoming season.

The team has a mandatory minicamp from June 10-12.

Per Spotrac, Miller signed a three-year, $54 million deal prior to the 2023 season. He’s slated to earn $12,255,998 in the final year of his deal with a $50,000 workout bonus. If Miller does not sign a new contract before the 2025 season ends, he will become an unrestricted free agent.
