Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle, foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. Jeanty was a full-go on Wednesday, but he was limited and had the foot added to the injury report on Thursday. Then he didn’t practice on Friday. It looks like Jeanty hurt his foot on Thursday, leaving him truly uncertain for Sunday’s game. We’ll update his status as we learn more and get Vegas’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Jeanty’s absence would turn rookie Mike Washington into the Raiders’ lead back and a fantasy starter.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. The August 23 injury that sounded potentially season-ending winds up costing Jeanty 0 games.

But Jeanty would be nearly impossible to keep out of Week 1 fantasy lineups in a great spot as a 3-point home favorite vs. the Dolphins.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, HC Klint Kubiak said.

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak offered little clarity on RB Ashton Jeanty's ankle injury after Tuesday's practice. "He's on the mend," Kubiak said, via ESPN's Ryan McFadden.

I'm a huge believer in the power of prayer."

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty's status for the season opener vs. the Dolphins is "still up in the air," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
