“Raiders final apply earlier than heading to New England. Ashton Jeanty just isn’t out right here to begin,” n reported.
The hope is that Jeanty will present up later and get in at the least some semblance of apply on Friday, however that is still to be seen.
We’ll know extra later within the day, when the Raiders drop their last harm report.
For now, issues aren’t wanting good for the second-year again, who is probably going headed for a questionable tag, at greatest.
How Raiders would fill the void
Is Jeanty is pressured to sit down, the Raiders will make the most of Mike Washington as his alternative.
Taken within the fourth spherical of the 2026 NFL Draft, Washington turned heads throughout coaching camp and the preseason along with his robust play.
We haven’t heard a lot from the Arkansas product since then, although, as Jeanty has dominated touches in Las Vegas’ backfield.
Even nonetheless, Washington has been fairly stable along with his restricted alternatives, with the rookie posting 5 yards per keep it up his 24 totes, and he has discovered the tip zone as soon as.

We wouldn’t count on Washington to be an every-series three-down again, although, as he has barely been utilized within the passing sport this season.
As an alternative, search for the workforce’s RB3, Dylan Laube, to gobble up a lot of the passing-game work.
With Laube and Washington being the one different backs on the roster exterior of Jeanty, the workforce will elevate one if the previous No. 6 total decide doesn’t play.
That selection will likely be between Owen Wright and Roman Hemby.
