Washington Jr. next man up with team's only rushing TD if Jeanty sits.

Rookie Mike Washington Jr. is the next man up in the Raiders backfield if Ashton Jeanty cannot play against the Patriots. The Arkansas product has the team's lone rushing touchdown this season, positioning him as the primary backup option for the Week 5 matchup. The source indicates Washington Jr. would be the primary fill-in if Jeanty's health status prevents him from playing.
