Ashton Jeanty injures knee at Raiders practice, team lacks depth

Ashton Jeanty, the Las Vegas Raiders' star running back, suffered a knee injury during practice on August 23, 2026. Teammates gathered to pray for Jeanty, who was assisted off the field without weight on his right leg. The injury raises concerns about the Raiders' running back depth, especially after drafting quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall. If Jeanty is out for an extended period, Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube, and Roman Hemby may become significant contributors. Discussions regarding additional depth options are anticipated as the team assesses Jeanty’s situation.
