Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty injured ankle still not right and it shows
Even though Ashton Jeanty has played every game this season, he is clearly not back full from the ankle injury he suffered in camp.
Ashton Jeanty, the Raiders' running back, continues to struggle with an ankle injury that has not fully healed. Initially, concerns centered around a severe knee injury, but it was later determined to be a sprained ankle. Despite being active for the season opener and recording 103 yards on 23 carries, Jeanty has since struggled, averaging under three yards per carry in the last three games.
This inconsistency became evident once again during Sunday's game against the Chiefs, when he hobbled off the field in pain after accumulating 58 yards on 15 carries. Jeanty acknowledged the issue, stating, "I'm feeling all right, I just gotta get back to work, keep rehabbing and keep making it stronger." The persistent ankle issues are a growing concern for the Raiders, as they rely heavily on Jeanty's performance.
The team's next opponent, the Patriots, could be a potential test for Jeanty's recovery, though their ability to secure a win remains to be seen.
