Cole is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Cole injured his ankle after his punt was blocked in the second quarter, and the injury was severe enough for the punter to be carted off the field. Daniel Carlson may be tasked with handling punting duties for the rest of the game while backup quarterback Kenny Pickett serves as the holder on field-goal attempts and extra-point tries if Cole is unable to return.

Cole (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury is to Cole's right foot -- his kicking foot. The team doesn't have a backup punter currently, so it appears they may use kicker Daniel Carlson if Cole can't play.

Cole has won the Raiders' punter competition, Scott Blair of NBC Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result of Cole's victory, the team waived Johnny Townsend. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina State impressed well enough during Saturday's preseason game against the Rams to earn the starting gig moving forward.
