Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty reportedly leaves practice Sunday with lower-body injury

Raiders fans will hold their breath as they hope their star running back avoided a major injury.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty reportedly leaves practice Sunday with lower-body injury

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty departed Sunday's practice with a lower-body injury, according to ESPN's Ryan McFadden. The second-year running back allegedly dove for a catch, but landed poorly. He was attended to by trainers, and it was evident that he could not exert any force on his right leg. As Las Vegas undergoes a reconstruction under new head coach Klint Kubiak, the offense was anticipated to revolve around Jeanty.

Should he miss significant time due to this injury, the Raiders may need to either alter their offensive strategy for the season or rely more on rookie RB Mike Washington Jr., the team's fourth-round draft pick in 2026.
