Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Believed to be nursing low-ankle sprain
The Las Vegas Raiders are optimistic that the injury Ashton Jeanty sustained during practice Sunday is a "more low than high" ankle sprain and not a long-term concern, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.While the Raiders are fully confident that Jeanty avoided a significant injury, the second-year running back is still in danger of missing the team's Week 1 game against the Dolphins. Jeanty will at the very least sit out Thursday's preseason finale versus the 49ers, but he'll have two weeks to recover before the regular season kicks off. Rookie Mike Washington would be in line to serve as the Raiders' lead back if Jeanty ends up missing time.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Sits out Monday's practice
Ashton Jeanty (ankle) didn't participant in practice Monday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.The Las Vegas Raiders experienced a scare when Jeanty went down during Sunday's session and couldn't put any pressure on his right leg as he left the field. Later Sunday evening, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Jeanty suffered a sprained ankle that wasn't considered to be a long-term concern, but the second-year running back predictably will require some time on the sideline. Rookie fourth-rounder Mike Washington likely will take on most of the first-team reps during Jeanty's absence.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Leaves practice with leg injury
Ashton Jeanty left Sunday's practice with an injury and could not put pressure on his leg while leaving the field, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.Jeanty went down after diving for a catch and landing awkwardly, and he could not put any pressure on his right leg while being helped off the field by trainers, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Other Las Vegas Raiders players also were seen taking a knee in acknowledgement after the running back left the field. The exact nature and severity of this apparent injury are still unclear, with McFadden suggesting it could be a knee issue, so it will be worth monitoring further updates on the running back's status. In the event that Jeanty misses any time, Mike Washington is next up for carries in a Las Vegas backfield that also includes Dylan Laube, Roman Hemby and Dare Ogunbowale.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Sits out Thursday's preseason game
Ashton Jeanty was among the Las Vegas Raiders starters who rested in Thursday's 22-20 preseason win over Houston, according to The Associated Press.With Kirk Cousins, Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers also resting, Jeanty's absence is a good sign for his regular-season workload. Backup running back Mike Washington broke off a long run for the second time in as many preseason games, but it's unclear if he'll be a significant part of the offense come Week 1 against Miami.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Solid in preseason cameo
Ashton Jeanty rushed three times for 16 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Las Vegas Raiders' 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.Jeanty was the first running back in the game for the Raiders and saw all his touches on Las Vegas' first drive before his night came to a quick end. The 2025 first-round pick is coming off a solid rookie campaign where he arguably maximized his opportunities on a struggling team in need of a talent infusion, and the offseason addition of star center Tyler Linderbaum is expected to make a significant impact on the blocking Jeanty enjoy as he carries out his clear-cut No. 1 role in 2026.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Starters in line to play Thursday
Coach Klint Kubiak said Tuesday that the Las Vegas Raiders' starters -- a group that would include Ashton Jeanty -- are in line to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.It remains to be seen how much work Jeanty is in store for versus Arizona, but once he gets his reps, his backups will presumably see plenty of action. As the coming campaign approaches, Jeanty is positioned for a high-volume role in the Las Vegas offense, one that could include more work in the passing game, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. Currently backing up Jeanty are Mike Washington, Dylan Laube, Dare Ogunbowale and Roman Hemby.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Could see even more playing time?
New Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak hinted Wednesday that Ashton Jeanty could play even more of an every-down workhorse role in his second season, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.It comes off as typical coach speak that is routinely thrown around at this stage of the offseason, but it's at least worth noting nonetheless. "It's important to have a quality second back, but the best player has got to play, and we've got to get them on the field as much as we can," Kubiak said. "I don't know the play-snap percentage, but you look at Christian McCaffrey, his play-snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don't want to come off the field." Only nine running backs handled more carries and played more snaps than Jeanty last season, so it'll be tough to truly put significantly more on his plate in 2026, but the hope is for far better efficiency behind an improved offensive line with better coaching and quarterback play. Currently in the mix for RB touches that don't go to Jeantyare rookie fourth-rounder Mike Washington, as well as Dylan Laube, Chris Collier and UDFA addition Roman Hemby.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Finishes shy of 1,000 rushing yards
Ashton Jeanty rushed the ball 26 times for 87 yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He added three receptions on five targets for seven yards.Jeanty unsurprisingly remained the focal point of the offense, logging over 25 total touches for the second time in his last three games. He didn't find much running room, though he did manage two rushes of at least 10 yards. Jeanty ultimately finished his rookie campaign with 1,321 yards from scrimmage while falling only 25 rushing yards short of 1,000. The Las Vegas Raiders secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft despite the win and are almost certain to select a quarterback, so Jeanty should have a better supporting cast around him for his sophomore campaign.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Totals 73 yards
Ashton Jeanty rushed the ball 16 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants. He added two receptions on two targets for 13 yards.Jeanty couldn't duplicate his Week 16 heroics and was extremely inefficient for most of the game. He delivered long runs of 24 and 14 yards in the second half to bolster his stat line, the former of which came with four minutes remaining in the game and the Las Vegas Raiders down three scores. Jeanty enters a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs needing 112 rushing yards to reach 1,000 for his rookie season, though he's hit that mark only twice in 16 games to this point.
