Raiders rookie Trey Zuhn was trending in the right direction in Week 9

Las Vegas Raiders rookie guard Trey Zuhn III made his second consecutive start in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Zuhn was building on a strong debut performance from Week 8 before suffering a concussion that forced him to leave the game. He was absolutely trending in the right direction.

The former Texas A&M standout was the Raiders' third starting guard this season. Zuhn had arguably shown the most promise, which is why he earned another start in Week 9 after impressing in Week 8. Zuhn was replaced by Caleb Rogers after he exited the game with the concussion.

Zuhn played a healthy 30 snaps before suffering the setback. The big-bodied lineman didn't allow a single sack or pressure in pass protection versus the 49ers, according to Pro Football Focus. He also had a career-high grade as a run blocker (79.6).

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak will hopefully provide injury updates on Zuhn later this week. The 91st overall selection is likely in concussion protocol. It would require a quick turnaround for him to pass protocol before playing the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10.

Whether Zuhn clears concussion protocol or not, Raiders fans should be excited about the potential he's shown.
