STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Jeanty demoted to third-down back; temporary but notable role regression.

Jeanty was relegated to the bench and became the team's third-down back after being communicated this role before the game; he received minimal carries while Mike Washington Jr. took 25 of 28 running back carries. While this demotion is described as iron-clad regression that is unlikely to persist for the remainder of the season, it signals a significant short-term role reduction.
