Overview
- Jeanty dove for an underthrown pass and landed awkwardly during practice on Sunday, was unable to put weight on his right leg, and was helped off the field by trainers as teammates knelt in prayer.
- Late reports from NFL insiders say the injury is believed to be an ankle sprain and is not thought to be season‑ending, though the Raiders have not confirmed a diagnosis or timetable.
- Raiders coach Klint Kubiak gave only a brief update, saying Jeanty 'is on the mend' and declining to provide further medical details or a projected return date.
- Rookie Mike Washington Jr. took additional first‑team reps after the injury and is the likeliest short‑term replacement while the club awaits imaging and rehab progress; other depth options include Dylan Laube and Dare Ogunbowale.
- Jeanty was the Raiders' 2025 No. 6 overall pick and rushed for 975 yards as a rookie, so any early‑season absence could force roster moves, alter Las Vegas’s game plan for Week 1, and affect fantasy valuations.
