Patriots Could Catch Break With Raiders Star Ashton Jeanty Questionable
The Raiders star running back came down with a later week injury.
The New England Patriots are facing an injury conundrum as they prepare for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. One of the Raiders' key offensive players, running back Ashton Jeanty, is officially questionable due to ankle and foot issues. Jeanty, a second-year player, did not participate in Friday's practice, raising questions about his availability.
The Patriots, who are currently 2-2, could benefit from Jeanty's absence, as he has been a significant contributor with 264 rushing yards and 165 receiving yards. However, the Patriots themselves are dealing with several injuries, including Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis III, Channing Canada, and Karon Prunty, which could make Sunday's matchup more challenging.
The Las Vegas Raiders will also be without receivers Jalen Nailor and Dont e Thornton, as well as offensive lineman Trey Zuhn. Regardless of Jeanty's status, the Patriots will need to contend with a strong Las Vegas defense that has led the NFL in takeaways. The game is set to tip off at 1 p.m. ET.
