Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak expects Ashton Jeanty for Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is trending toward availability for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated optimism regarding the status of the running back during a Wednesday press conference. When asked if Jeanty would be ready for the season opener, Kubiak provided a one-word confirmation while smiling. Jeanty has been listed as questionable recently due to an ankle injury. While Mike Washington Jr. may see an increased workload early in the season to manage Jeanty's health, the confirmation from the coaching staff suggests the running back is on track for his scheduled return. The Raiders enter the game with Kirk Cousins at quarterback as they look to open the 2026 season.
