Mike Washington Jr. emerges as promising backup option if Jeanty sidelined.

Selected by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2026 draft out of Arkansas, Washington has been one of the pleasant surprises of training camp and the preseason, displaying an impressive combination of size, speed and explosiveness. The source notes that while Washington isn't Jeanty and it would be unfair to expect the rookie to simply replace one of the NFL's most talented running backs, his emergence gives the Raiders a promising option should Jeanty be forced to miss time.
