Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty has been struggling with injuries this season, including an ankle injury since preseason and a recent foot injury, leading to a disappointing start in 2026.
- Jeanty was questionable for Sunday's game but played after a brief pregame workout, though his performance was limited to 27 rushing yards and 50 receiving yards in a loss to the New England Patriots.
- The Raiders rank 28th in rushing yards per game through five weeks, with Jeanty not having rushed for more than 60 yards since Week 1 and no rushing touchdowns this season.
- Despite injuries, Jeanty is eager to continue playing, but the team is considering giving him a rest week to recover, potentially before their Week 13 bye.
- If Jeanty needs to sit out, the Raiders trust rookie Mike Washington Jr. and backup Dylan Laube to manage the running back duties temporarily.
