Raiders Expect Ashton Jeanty for Week 1 Despite Ankle Injury

Head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed the Raiders are counting on Ashton Jeanty for the Week 1 opener despite an ankle injury that has impacted his fantasy draft stock. While Kubiak previously envisioned Jeanty as a workhorse back in May, the injury and the impressive preseason performance of teammate Mike Washington Jr. have led to speculation regarding a potential shift in backfield usage. The team continues to monitor his recovery as his status remains a focal point.
