Raiders RB Jeanty Injured; Washington Jr. Possible Replacement

Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty sustained a leg injury during Sunday’s practice and was helped off after being unable to put weight on the leg. Trainers paused for a moment of prayer or reflection after the incident, underscoring the seriousness of the scare. Jeanty, who had over 1,300 yards from scrimmage last season, had been competing with rookie Mike Washington Jr. for touches, and Washington’s strong preseason performances have made him a plausible temporary replacement if Jeanty misses time. Despite the injury uncertainty, Jeanty remains Las Vegas’s top running back on the depth chart among several options. Multiple reports described the injury as potentially knee-related, with updates anticipated as information becomes available. The Raiders have been cautious with Jeanty in the preseason and are monitoring his status closely.
