Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that running back Ashton Jeanty is set to return to practice on Wednesday. This development follows a period of inactivity for Jeanty, who had been sidelined after suffering an ankle sprain during practice last month. Although the team initially feared a more serious injury, the running back avoided a long-term absence. Kubiak noted he expects to have his full roster available for the upcoming season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. While the team has not specified if Jeanty will participate in limited or full capacity during the practice session, his presence on the field serves as an indicator of his likely availability for the Week 1 matchup. The coaching staff plans to continue monitoring the official injury report leading up to the game.
