Mike Washington Jr. Takes Over Primary Rushing Workload for Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders fourth-round rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. logged 25 rushes in Sunday's 38-33 victory over the Jets, dramatically surpassing Ashton Jeanty's two carries. Head coach Klint Kubiak announced Wednesday that backfield touches between Washington and Jeanty will be managed on a week-to-week basis. Washington's surge provides Las Vegas with heavy early-down production heading to Week 9.
