Jeanty ankle sprain ‘more low than high’

Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

Player Stats

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Ashton Jeanty’s ankle sprain is “more low than high.”

We’re not sure if that’s an official medical diagnosis but it’s good news that the Raiders are not saying the second-year back sustained a real-deal high ankle injury, the kind of injury that often leads to an extended absence and significant rehab time. Rapoport said the Raiders are hopeful Jeanty can suit up for Week 1 against the Dolphins, though the team is far from certain Jeanty will be ready to go after suffering the ankle injury during Sunday’s practice. He added Jeanty’s injury is not of the season-threatening variety. If Jeanty is sidelined for Week 1, Mike Washington, Jr. would likely take over as the team’s lead back and would be locked in as a starter in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Ashton Jeanty (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Jeanty’s previous ankle designation was removed from the injury report and he was a full practice participant on Wednesday. His practice participation lines up with Raiders coach Klint Kubiak saying the 22-year-old running back was starting to “feel a lot better.” Though there were rumors of the Raiders resting Jeanty for a week, he is trending to play in Week 6 against the Bills.

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said Ashton Jeanty (foot/ankle) is starting to “feel a lot better.”

Kubiak also shot down the idea of the Raiders resting Jeanty for a week, despite it being reported earlier today that the Raiders were considering giving him a week off to recover at some point. Jeanty has been dreadfully inefficient this year, averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry, though the team’s subpar offensive line also deserves some of the blame. For fantasy purposes, his workload has been the big draw. He is averaging 22 touches per game through five weeks. Even if the foot and ankle injuries continue to bother him, Jeanty has to be treated as a mid-range RB2.

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty had 10 rushes for 27 yards in the Raiders’ Week 5 loss to the Patriots, adding three catches for 50 yards.

Most of Jeanty’s production against New England came on a 31-yard catch and run in the third quarter. Battling through foot and ankle injuries, Jeanty looked hobbled from the start and struggled to break tackles or outrun Patriots defenders to the edge. Most Raiders starters rested in the fourth quarter of a lopsided loss. Jeanty still doesn’t have a rushing touchdown on the season and hasn’t had 100 rushing yards in a game since Week 1 against the Dolphins. Until Jeanty is fully healthy he probably won’t provide much in the way of upside, including next week against a decent Buffalo run defense.

Ashton Jeanty (ankle, foot) is active for Week 5 against the Patriots.

Jeanty will play through his foot and ankle injuries against New England. It wouldn’t be surprising if he cedes some backfield work to a healthy and much more explosive Mike Washington, however. Jeanty should be considered a top-24 option this week while Washington is a desperation flex. Raiders declared WR Jalen Nailor, QB Aidan O’Connell, S Tristin McCollum, RB Roman Hemby, S Dalton Johnson, OL Trey Zuhn, and DT JJ Pegues inactive against the Patriots.

LV Running Back #2

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Ashton Jeanty (foot/ankle) is “hopeful” to play in Week 5 against the Patriots.

Per Rapoport, Jeanty had a flare-up of plantar fasciitis last week to go along with his ankle injury. He added that Jeanty will work out before today’s game to see how he’s feeling. If he can’t go, Mike Washington Jr. would see the bulk of the backfield touches. Washington has been an explosive complement to Jeanty this year, averaging five yards per carry on 24 attempts. He would jump to the top of the RB2 ranks if Jeanty can’t go.

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said Ashton Jeanty (foot/ankle) is questionable for Las Vegas’ Week 5 game against the Patriots.

Kubiak didn’t get into real specifics about the injury when asked. Mike Washington just found his way into real contingency value and is a worthwhile stash/hedge anywhere he was dropped. Jeanty did not practice Friday after a limited session (and the addition of a foot tag) on Thurdsay, so this certainly doesn’t appear to be heading in the right direction. That said, we knew Jeanty would be managing something after the preseason ankle injury and the Raiders have given out rest days on Friday quite a bit already this year. Jeanty is likely something close to truly questionable.

Ashton Jeanty (ankle/foot) was not spotted at Friday’s practice.

Jeanty has been dealing with the ankle injury throughout the week, but the foot injury was added after Thursday’s practice. Jeanty was officially listed as limited on Thursday, but the Raiders’ RB1 was absent from the media portion of Friday’s practice. We will receive final word on his Week 5 availability soon, but rookie Mike Washington could be in line for a busy day against the Patriots if Jeanty is unable to go.

Ashton Jeanty (ankle/foot) was limited on Thursday.

Oh, dear. Jeanty was a full participant yesterday, listed only with an ankle injury. Today, he was downgraded to limited and the Raiders tacked on a foot injury. The second-year running back has played through the nagging ankle injury thus far and could play through the pain again this weekend, but this situation must be closely monitored. Backup RB Mike Washington must be rostered in all formats.

LV Running Back #2

Ashton Jeanty rushed 15 times for 58 yards in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, adding six receptions for 68 additional yards.

Jeanty was bottled up on the ground for most of the day. A 19-yard run he ripped off in the fourth quarter accounted for 32.8 percent of his yards on the ground, but his work in the passing game was enough to provide a solid day for fantasy managers. Jeanty’s six receptions tied a season-high for the second-year receiver, while his eight targets set a new season-high and tied a career-high he set last season. Jeanty briefly exited this game with what appeared to be a leg/ankle injury, but returned on the following drive after being evaluated. He hasn’t found the end zone since Week 1, but he remains a strong volume play heading into Week 5 against the Patriots. Jeanty’s work as a receiver is keeping in the RB1 ranks despite his struggles on the ground over the last three weeks.

Ashton Jeanty returned to the field in the fourth quarter of Week 4’s game against the Chiefs.

Jeanty exited late in the third quarter with what appeared to be a right leg injury, but was back on the field to take a handoff on the next possession. With nearly a full quarter of play left in the game, we’ll see if Jeanty can finish this one out as the Raiders look to push their record to 4-0 for the season.

The Athletic’s James Boyd reports Alec Pierce (heel) is no longer wearing a cast but is not close to a return.

Boyd said he “didn’t get the sense” that Pierce is close to a return. Pierce went on injured reserve with a heel injury after Week 2 and wore a cast on his left ankle/heel while rehabbing. It’s a sign of progress for Pierce, who will have his first chance to come back in the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Vikings.

Allen is dealing with a foot injury and is listed as a DNP on the Rams’ estimated practice report. Fellow tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) was listed as limited, though he has been dealing with the shoulder injury for a few weeks now and the Rams are likely managing his workload. Parkinson is trending to play. Allen’s potential absence may lead to the Rams activating rookie Max Klare to play alongside Parkinson and fantasy streaming option Tyler Higbee in Week 6.

Jalen Nailor (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

Nailor suffered a concussion in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, missing Week 5 against the Patriots while still in the protocol. He starts out the week not practicing, indicating he is not close to clearing protocol. Though he still has a chance to play this week, Nailor does not need to be stashed for fantasy purposes amid a murky wide receiver corps.
