Jeanty dove for a low pass, landed awkwardly before remaining on the turf and being helped up by trainers as he was unable to put any weight on his right leg. With players and coaches taking a knee, the injury appeared quite serious in nature. And, Sunday evening, both Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport provided a reprieve — the ailment is believed to be a sprained ankle and not one of a season-ending variety.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Jeanty sprained ankle in practice; likely out 3-4 games to start 2026 season.

Jeanty suffered a sprained ankle during Raiders Sunday practice after diving for a low pass and landing awkwardly; while Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported it is not considered a long-term injury, the type of ankle sprain is key—a high-variant sprain can result in longer recovery time and zap running backs of the ability to thoroughly cut, plant, and create explosion; the source assumes three to four games missed at the onset of the 2026 regular season pending recovery timeframe confirmation.
