Leaves practice with apparent leg injury Sunday
Jeanty left Sunday's practice with an injury and could not put pressure on his leg while leaving the field, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.
Jeanty went down after diving for a catch and landing awkwardly, and he could not put any pressure on his right leg while being helped off the field by trainers, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Other Raiders players were also seen taking a knee in acknowledgement after the running back left the field. The exact nature and severity of this apparent injury are still unclear, so it will be worth monitoring further updates on the running back's status. Jeanty was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he led Las Vegas with 266 carries for 975 yards and five touchdowns during his 2025 rookie season.
