Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty was helped off the practice field on August 23 after landing awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass during 11-on-11 drills. He could not put weight on his right leg following the incident, and the team has not yet provided information regarding the severity of the injury. Jeanty, who had a productive rookie season with over 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns, was sharing practice reps with rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. before the injury. Should Jeanty miss time, Washington is expected to take over first-team reps after solid preseason performances.
