  "account": "HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty suffered an apparent injury during Sunday's practice and was unable to put weight on his right leg. The team did not release a statement on Jeanty's condition and it remains unclear when an update might be provided. Coach Klint Kubiak is set to speak with reporters on Tuesday. The incident occurred after Jeanty attempted to catch a pass during the indoor practice session. Upon witnessing the injury, his teammates quickly fell silent and gathered together to kneel in prayer. Drafted as the sixth overall pick out of Boise State last year, Jeanty was aiming to build upon his rookie season where he rushed for 975 yards despite playing behind what was statistically the league's weakest offensive line. His average of 1.6 yards per attempt with contact, according to Pro Football Reference, ranked as the third worst among backs who had more than 100 carries that season. Like many other starting players, the Raiders attempted to safeguard Jeanty throughout the preseason, giving him limited playing time. He appeared only three times for a total of 16 yards against the Cardinals in the preseason opener and did not participate in the team's game against Houston. Should Jeanty miss a significant amount of time, rookie Mike Washington Jr. would likely take his place at the top of the depth chart. Washington, selected in the fourth round out of Arkansas, has had a promising preseason so far. He has recorded 15 carries for 119 yards in the preseason and has even seen practice snaps with the starting offense. The Raiders' preseason campaign concludes with a game against San Francisco on Thursday night.",
  "summary": "Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had to be helped off the field after apparently being injured late in Sunday's practice and was unable to put pressure on his right leg. The Raiders did not provide a statement on Jeanty's status and there was no indication of when an update would come. Coach Klint Kubiak is not scheduled to speak with reporters until Tuesday.",
