  "account": "The Las Vegas Raiders, under their new first-year head coach Klint Kubiak and No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, have a key player to watch out for as they rebuild their team. Running back Ashton Jeanty, who was just 25 yards shy of a 1,000-yard rookie season last year, was dealt a significant setback when he suffered a knee injury during a practice session, according to ESPN’s Ryan McFadden. The extent of Jeanty's injury and recovery time remain unclear, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming season. \"The Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty left practice early after suffering an apparent knee injury,\" McFadden reported. \"He was diving for a catch and landed awkwardly before being helped off the field by trainers, unable to put any pressure on his right leg.\" The entire team paused in remembrance, praying for Jeanty's full recovery. If Jeanty does miss any significant time, the Raiders will be forced to depend on younger, less experienced players like rookie fourth-round pick Mike Washington Jr., rookie Roman Hemby, and 26-year-old Dylan Laube, who are currently on the depth chart.",
