It's Kenny Pickett time for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Raiders quarterback will be making his first start of the season on Sunday against the team that he won a Super Bowl with, the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced Friday.
Starting quarterback Geno Smith did not practice this week after suffering a right shoulder and hand injury against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Pickett came into the game in relief of Smith in the third quarter, and completed eight of 11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown.
The 27-year-old has played in just three games for the Raiders since being acquired from the Cleveland Browns in August.
Pickett appeared in five games for the Eagles last season, including two post-season appearances during the Eagles' Super Bowl run.
