Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty ran 15 times for 58 yards (3.9 yards per carry) in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He made up for it as a receiver, catching 6 of 8 targets for 68 yards with a long of 28. That added up to 126 scrimmage yards and 18.6 PPR points. Jeanty played 56 of 84 snaps (66.7%) and ran 31 routes. He briefly left late in the third quarter with a leg injury but returned on the next drive.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. The August 23 injury that sounded potentially season-ending winds up costing Jeanty 0 games. It’s possible that his workload is scaled back a bit on Sunday, especially with how well RB Mike Washington played this preseason. But Jeanty would be nearly impossible to keep out of Week 1 fantasy lineups in a great spot as a 3-point home favorite vs. the Dolphins.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, HC Klint Kubiak said. We'll get his participation level tonight and track his status through the rest of the week, but Jeanty now looks likely to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Dolphins. How much work he'll be ready to handle remains uncertain. Jeanty will be three weeks removed from his ankle injury come Sunday.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty was working off to the side with trainers at Tuesday's practice, according to The Athletic's Sam Warren. It's the first time Jeanty has been seen on the field since his ankle injury nine days ago.

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak talked about using RB Ashton Jeanty as a workhorse back in May. Since then, Jeanty suffered an ankle injury and RB Mike Washington has impressed in preseason action. That might have Kubiak rethinking his backfield plans.

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak offered little clarity on RB Ashton Jeanty's ankle injury after Tuesday's practice. "He's on the mend," Kubiak said, via ESPN's Ryan McFadden. "Again, Ashton got hurt in practice, and the whole team took a knee. That says a lot about him being on the mend and counting on him. Really excited about getting him back. I'm a huge believer in the power of prayer."

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty's status for the season opener vs. the Dolphins is "still up in the air," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jeanty's ankle sprain is "believed to be more low than high," per Rapoport, but it's not a long-term injury. "There is a chance that Ashton Jeanty may not be on the field for Week 1," Rapoport adds.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is believed to have sprained an ankle in Sunday's practice, according to insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter. "The Raiders still are unsure how long he will be out, but it is not considered a long-term injury and the organization is breathing a sigh of relief tonight," Schefter writes. It's excellent news after what sounded like a potential season-ending injury.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty assumed his usual role dominating the backfield Sunday against the Chargers, shaking off the ankle injury that knocked him out of the previous game (but didn't land him on the Week 13 injury report). Unfortunately for fantasy managers, he also continued his usual poor ground production, managing a mere 31 yards on 15 carries (2.1 per rush). Fortunately for PPR formats, Jeanty tallied a team-high 6 receptions for 30 yards on a team-leading eight targets.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is not listed on the Week 13 injury report. He was knocked out late in last Sunday's game with an ankle injury but is evidently in no danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Jeanty's rushing efficiency has remained putrid lately, but he's racked up 22 catches on 26 targets over his last four games.

Raiders HC Pete Carroll called RB Ashton Jeanty's ankle injury a "tweak" and "not severe" on Monday. "It sounds like there’s a chance that he would be okay," Carroll added. We'll start the week projecting Jeanty to play vs. the Chargers but keep a close eye on his practice participation.
