Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is believed to have suffered an ankle sprain after being helped off the practice field Sunday, according to reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The injury is not considered long-term, although the Raiders remain unsure how much time Jeanty will miss.
How Did Ashton Jeanty Injure His Ankle?
Jeanty was injured during a team period Sunday while running a route out of the backfield. Quarterback Kirk Cousins delivered a low pass, forcing Jeanty to dive for the football.
Jeanty landed awkwardly on the turf and remained down before athletic trainers helped him off the field.
When Will Ashton Jeanty Return?
There is currently no specific return timeline for Jeanty, and the Raiders have declined to provide additional information.
The reported ankle sprain is an encouraging development after the way Jeanty left practice, but the severity of the sprain has not been disclosed.
