Ashton Jeanty's sprained ankle timeline unclear; could affect RB roster depth.

The 2025 first-round pick suffered a sprained ankle during preseason; the Raiders avoided a worst-case scenario, but the extent of his absence is unknown and could alter how many running backs the team keeps. If Jeanty misses the first four games, the source suggests the team might retain a veteran back like Dare Ogunbowale as insurance.
