Injury Update
During the Raiders’ recent matchup, running back Ashton Jeanty twisted his ankle, drawing immediate attention from medical staff.
Team physicians diagnosed the issue as a low‑grade sprain, a classification that typically carries a short recovery window and does not necessitate surgery.
Coaches have indicated that the backfield will rely on a committee approach while Jeanty regains full health, but the expectation is that he will be ready for the first game of the season.
Fantasy Outlook
If Jeanty sits out the opener, the next man up will inherit a share of carries, but the overall upside remains limited compared to the original RB1 projection.
