Despite the discomfort, Smith walked to the sideline and was eventually replaced by backup quarterback Kenny Pickett.

The Raiders suffered a narrow 10-7 defeat to the Broncos in a hard-fought defensive game.
Summary
Geno Smith’s thigh bruise forced him out temporarily, but his effort reflects the Raiders’ fight to turn the season around amid challenges.
