Raiders consider trade with Steelers after Jeanty injury during practice

The Las Vegas Raiders are looking for running back help after Ashton Jeanty sustained an ankle injury during practice on August 24, 2026. Jeanty was helped off the field but the injury is not seen as long-term. With the Pittsburgh Steelers having multiple running backs available, a trade involving second-year player Kaleb Johnson could be beneficial for both teams. Johnson, who had a lackluster rookie season, may not fit into the Steelers' plans after they added running backs Rico Dowdle and Eli Heidenreich, making a trade to the Raiders a viable option for immediate support.
