Ashton Jeanty nears return for Raiders Week 1 opener

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is showing signs of recovery from an ankle injury sustained during practice on August 23. While the initial injury caused significant concern within the organization, medical reports have confirmed it was a lower ankle sprain rather than a more severe ailment.

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak expressed optimism regarding Jeanty’s availability for the Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Although his exact workload remains uncertain, the team is shifting focus from his availability to how many carries he might receive. Jeanty managed to make the 53-man roster without being placed on injured reserve despite missing the preseason finale.
