Yahoo Fantasy Football on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
During the Raiders' training camp practice on Sunday, Aug. 23, Jeanty went down with a lower-body injury. ESPN's Ryan McFadden reported at the time that the second-year running back had to be helped off the field and couldn't put any weight on his right leg. Later that day, multiple reports broke that Jeanty sustained a sprained ankle in practice – avoiding a potentially more serious injury. On Tuesday, Aug. 25, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Jeanty's ankle sprain was 'more low than high,' which could indicate he could return to the field sooner rather than later.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty's ankle sprain is 'more low than high'; expected back by Week 1 or shortly after.
Jeanty suffered a lower-body injury during Raiders training camp on Aug. 23, initially reported as a sprained ankle. ESPN's Ryan McFadden reported he had to be helped off the field and couldn't put weight on his right leg. NFL insider Ian Rapoport later reported the ankle sprain was 'more low than high,' suggesting potential for earlier return. As of Aug. 31, the Raiders had not officially designated Jeanty or provided a return timetable, but head coach Klint Kubiak indicated the team is 'counting on [Jeanty]' for Week 1. The team did not place him on injured reserve ahead of roster cutdown and kept only three running backs, suggesting he should be available soon—if not Week 1, then by Week 4 at the latest.
