  "account": "Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, who was drafted sixth overall out of Boise State, appeared to suffer an injury during a recent practice on Sunday. The incident occurred late in the session when Jeanty, who was attempting to catch a pass, went down and his teammates quickly surrounded him. Unable to bear weight on his right leg, Jeanty was helped off the field by medical staff. No statement from the team was provided regarding Jeanty's condition, and there was no timeline for when an update might be issued. Coach Klint Kubiak is not set to speak with reporters until Tuesday. The team responded by kneeling and praying for the player. Despite being drafted highly, Jeanty's performance this preseason has been underwhelming. He rushed for just 975 yards as a rookie, with a mediocre 1.6 yards per attempt before contact, ranking third worst among backs with over 100 carries. The Raiders attempted to conserve Jeanty during preseason games, playing him briefly in the opener against Arizona and not at all in the Thursday game against Houston. Should Jeanty miss significant time, rookie Mike Washington Jr., drafted in the fourth round out of Arkansas, could step up. Washington has had a strong training camp, recording 15 carries for 119 yards in preseason action. The Raiders conclude their preseason slate with a Thursday night game against San Francisco.",
