Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty sustains ankle sprain, recovery timeline unclear
Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain during practice, and the team has not set a timetable for his return. Backup Mike Washington is expected to assume his duties in the interim.
Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty was helped off the field after sustaining what team officials described as an ankle sprain. The injury was addressed in a team meeting, according to California Post reporter Vincent Bonsignore.
The team has not provided a specific recovery timeline, and the injury is not being classified as long-term. Coach Klint Kubiak indicated that backup running back Mike Washington will likely take on Jeanty’s responsibilities if he misses time.
"We gathered as a team to acknowledge the injury," Bonsignore wrote.
Medical staff will continue to monitor Jeanty’s condition and provide updates as more information becomes available.
