Ashton Jeanty Misses Wednesday's Practice
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) missed practice again on Wednesday. He has been sidelined since injuring his ankle on August 23rd. While it's unclear if he'll be available for Week 1 against the Dolphins, rookie Mike Washington Jr. is expected to see significant work in the backfield regardless. Jeanty, a former first-round pick, showed promise last season with 975 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns

Klint Kubiak: We're counting on Ashton Jeanty for Week 1
The Raiders wrapped up their preseason games on Thursday night and running back Ashton Jeanty’s status will be one of the team’s focal points as they turn their attention toward Week 1. Jeanty sprained his ankle last weekend and the team has not shared much detail about the severity of the injury or the outlook for when he will be back on the field. Head coach Klint Kubiak stayed the course on that during a Friday videoconference with reporters, but he did make it clear that the team’s plans include having the 2025 first-round pick in the backfield. “Still on the mend, still working to get him back ,” Kubiak said. “We’ve got another week to assess how he’s gonna look going into this first game, but we’re counting on him.” Fourth-round pick Mike Washington had a good camp and Kubiak said he will have a role once the regular season is underway, but the Raiders would prefer it to be a complementary rather than starring one

Mike Washington - Sees extra work after Jeanty injury
sleeper-rotowire+14 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Washington took most of the carries after Ashton Jeanty (knee) left Sunday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports. Washington has been getting rave reviews during the preseason, and the rookie will presumably be the next man up should Jeanty miss any time. The extent of Jeanty's injury is not yet known, but the diagnosis will prove pivotal for fantasy players interested in drafting or who have already picked up either Raiders running back

Mike Washington - Takes first-team reps after Jeanty exits practice
sleeper-rotowire+14 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Washington took the rest of the first-team RB reps in Sunday's practice after Ashton Jeanty left the session early due to an apparent right knee injury, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports. The Raiders have yet to not provide any further details on the severity of Jeanty's injury, but if the 2025 first-rounder misses any time, Washington's fantasy stock would see a major bump. McFadden notes that Washington, who has had a strong training camp, was alternating starting reps with Jeanty before the injury occurred. Also in the team's backfield depth mix are Dylan Laube, Dare Ogunbowale and Roman Hemby

Ashton Jeanty Suffers Potentially Serious Knee Injury in Practice
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (knee) left practice early on Sunday after suffering an apparent knee injury, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN. McFadden reports that Jeanty landed awkwardly while attempting to make a diving catch and "couldn't put any pressure on his right leg" while being helped off the field by trainers. While the exact nature of the injury is not entirely clear, a serious knee injury for Jeanty would obviously be a massive blow for both the Raiders and fantasy managers. The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jeanty recorded 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 321 touches across 17 games as a rookie. Before the injury, the 22-year-old appeared to be in line to shoulder a high-volume, three-down workload for Las Vegas. If he misses time, Raiders backs Mike Washington Jr. and Dylan Laube would likely be in line for significantly increased roles in the team's offense

Mike Washington Jr. Earning Praise from His Head Coach
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said that rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. is "doing a great job running the ball" and "hinted that Washington Jr. has done enough as a runner to earn his shots," per Sam Warren of The Athletic. A fourth-round pick out of Arkansas, Washington Jr. recorded 1,296 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 195 touches across 12 games with the Razorbacks in 2025. Raiders RB1 Ashton Jeanty profiles as a three-down workhorse, which may make it difficult for Washington Jr. to see the field as a rookie. Warren also reports that the Raiders want to see the 23-year-old improve his all-around game, so the team may need to see improvements in pass protection and as a receiver before he is entrusted with a steady role in the offense. Still, Washington Jr. has stood out this summer and looks like the clear favorite to be the RB2 in Las Vegas. Fantasy managers looking for a handcuff option to Jeanty may want to prioritize Washington Jr. in drafts

Mike Washington - Produces another long run
sleeper-rotowire+14 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Washington rushed nine times for 56 yards while catching two of three targets for 18 yards in Thursday's 22-20 preseason win over the Texans. Washington has churned out an impressive 119 yards on 15 carries through two preseason games, averaging a robust 7.9 yards per carry thanks to a 56-yard run against the Cardinals in the previous game and a 33-yard run Thursday against the Texans. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Arkansas has shown nice burst in establishing himself as the favorite to back up Ashton Jeanty heading into Vegas' preseason finale against the 49ers next Thursday
