Las Vegas Raiders rookies among 5 placed on PUP list for training camp

Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports

The Las Vegas Raiders saw the rest of the team report for training camp on Tuesday after their rookies reported on Sunday. And, with that, the team placed three players on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

The Raiders announced on Tuesday that left tackle Kolton Miller, guard and second-round pick Jackson Powers-Johnson, linebacker Darien Butler, wide receiver Jalen Guyton and UDFA offensive lineman Jacob Johanning went on the PUP list. All four can be removed at any time.

Earlier in the day, head coach Antonio Pierce noted that Miller looks good as he works his way back from offseason shoulder surgery. Miller did not take part at organized team activities.

Powers-Johnson is vying for a starting role at left guard in 2024. The Oregon product left an OTAs practice back in May early with a shoulder injury and did not see the field again for the rest of the offseason program.

Butler is rehabbing from a serious knee injury suffered last preseason, and Johanning has an unspecified lower-body injury, according to Tristen Kuhn of TWSN.

Guyton picking up an injury is a bad omen considering he has struggled in that area the past few years. It isn’t clear at the moment what he’s dealing with, but it’s even worse news considering Michael Gallup retired on the same day.

The Raiders will hold their first practice of training camp on Wednesday. You can check out the entire training camp schedule right here.
