Ashton Jeanty's Workload Shrinks Drastically in Raiders' Loss to Cowboys

Rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, the sixth overall pick, saw a significant reduction in his workload during the Las Vegas Raiders' 33-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, carrying the ball just six times for seven yards. This contrasts sharply with his 60 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries the previous week. Head coach Pete Carroll took responsibility for the unbalanced offensive game plan, which prioritized passing early. Jeanty expressed his inability to control his usage, stating, "I just take whatever I can get." Despite an 11-yard run, he received limited touches, and the team's offensive line struggles, including injuries to Kolton Miller and Jackson Powers-Johnson, further hampered the run game. Jeanty was even swarmed for a safety in the fourth quarter, highlighting the team's struggles.
