Silver And Black Pride on Ashton Jeanty
From the article
Ashton Jeanty's ankle ailment was certainly a cause for concern... it appears Jeanty avoided a serious injury. The team not placing Jeanty on injured reserve... Raiders rolling with a trio of tailbacks on the initial 53 (Jeanty, ravishing rookie Mike Washington Jr., and Dylan Laube)... we're counting on him.
STACKED’s take
Jeanty avoided serious injury; Raiders counting on him as starter despite ankle concern.
Ashton Jeanty suffered an ankle injury on August 23 during practice after diving for a low pass and landing awkwardly, causing initial concern with inability to put weight on his right foot. However, the Raiders avoided placing him on injured reserve with a designated-to-return qualifier during cutdown day, signaling the team expects recovery and his availability as the starting workhorse running back. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated: "He's still on the mend and we're still working to get him back. We got another week to assess how he's going to look going into this first game, but we're counting on him." At 5-foot-8 and 208 pounds, Jeanty has demonstrated pass protection ability required in Kubiak's system despite his smaller frame.
