Ashton Jeanty injury status and Raiders outlook

Overview

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is recovering from an ankle sprain sustained during a training camp practice on August 23, 2026. The injury occurred at the Intermountain Health Performance Center when Jeanty landed awkwardly while diving for a pass from Kirk Cousins.

While the initial incident caused concern as Jeanty was unable to put weight on his right leg, a diagnosis of an ankle sprain provided relief. Reports from Adam Schefter indicated the injury was not considered a long-term issue. By September 8, Jeanty was trending toward playing in the Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Jeanty would practice that week, though he initially declined to guarantee availability or commit to a specific workload.

By September 10, Jeanty has returned to full practice participation and is expected to play in the season opener against the Dolphins. Jeanty expressed optimism regarding his recovery, stating he feels ‘really good’ and noted that the injury appeared more alarming than it actually was.

His return provides a boost to the Raiders' offense, particularly as the team also faces the loss of star tight end Brock Bowers. Bowers is expected to miss one to two games after undergoing a meniscus trim following a knee injury sustained in practice.
