Ashton Jeanty says his ankle feels "really good" and is "super excited" to play Sunday

Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is confident he will suit up for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins. The second-year player revealed that his ankle is feeling "really good" as he prepares to return to the field. Jeanty had his second practice since injuring his ankle on August 23 during a training camp session. While acknowledging that being away from the game is tough, he expressed his excitement about getting back on the field, particularly with his teammates.

Jeanty explained that the initial severity of his injury seemed greater than it actually was, as he was able to get back up quickly after taking a low pass from Kirk Cousins. He was certain from the moment of his injury that he would be able to play in the Week 1 matchup.
