Summary
Las Vegas running back Ashton Jeanty was helped off Sunday’s practice field without putting weight on his right leg after going down during 11-on-11 drills.
The injury happened when Jeanty landed awkwardly while diving for a catch; trainers attended to him on the field before assisting him off as teammates knelt in silence.
The Raiders did not immediately disclose the severity of the injury, leaving uncertainty around the availability of a back who topped 1,300 yards and scored 10 touchdowns as a rookie.
Mike Washington Jr. is expected to take first-team reps if Jeanty misses time after preseason outings of 63 yards on six carries against Arizona and 56 yards on nine carries against Houston.
