Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty expected to recover from sprained ankle
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said running back Ashton Jeanty is recovering from a sprained ankle and did not confirm any plans to place him on injured reserve.
Running back Ashton Jeanty suffered a sprained ankle during a practice session over the weekend, according to team reports. In a Tuesday press conference, Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Jeanty is "on the mend" but provided no further details about the injury. When asked whether Jeanty might be placed on injured reserve for the start of the season, Kubiak repeated that the player is recovering, without confirming any roster moves. The coach noted a moment of team solidarity after Jeanty left the field, referencing a collective prayer. Jeanty did not participate in Tuesday's practice. If the team were to place him on injured reserve before final roster cuts, he would become eligible to return after four weeks.
