Ashton Jeanty Suffers Ankle Injury During Raiders Practice

Ashton Jeanty, running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, is believed to have sustained a sprained ankle during practice on Sunday, as reported by ESPN and NFL Network insiders.

Jeanty left the field after an awkward landing while attempting to catch a pass, requiring assistance from athletic trainers. Although the team has not confirmed a timeline for his return, initial assessments suggest the injury is not serious, alleviating earlier concerns of a potential knee issue.

Rookie Mike Washington Jr. took over first-team duties in Jeanty's absence. Jeanty, who was drafted sixth overall in 2025, had a productive first season, contributing significantly to the Raiders' offense. The team is optimistic about his recovery, especially with the recent addition of center Tyler Linderbaum, who is expected to enhance the running game.
