Ashton Jeanty Limps Off Raiders Practice With Right Leg Injury
The No. 6 overall pick went down awkwardly Sunday and couldn't put weight on his right leg — a scary moment for a fantasy RB1 fresh off 1,321 scrimmage yards.
No diagnosis yet — hold your draft plans until the severity lands.
- Exited Sunday practice, couldn't bear weight on right leg
- Went down diving for a Kirk Cousins pass
- No. 6 overall pick in 2025 draft
- 245 PPR points in 2025 as a rookie
- Our RB11 heading into 2026 (overall #33)
Every Raiders fantasy manager just felt their stomach drop. Ashton Jeanty left Sunday's practice early with an apparent right leg injury after diving to haul in a pass from Kirk Cousins, landing awkwardly and going down. Multiple reporters on the scene said he couldn't put weight on the leg and needed trainers to help him off, and he didn't return.
The moment was serious enough that the entire team took a knee for a beat of silence. For context on the stakes: Jeanty is our RB11 (No. 33 overall) after a rookie year that produced 1,321 scrimmage yards — 975 rushing, 346 receiving on 55 catches — and 10 total touchdowns across 17 games, good for 245 PPR points in 2025.
That production line is exactly why this stings. Jeanty was drafted sixth overall in 2025 and slotted to be the engine of Las Vegas' offense in 2026 under new head coach Klint Kubiak. Backfields built around a bell-cow rarely have a Plan B that fantasy managers actually want, and Jeanty is as bell-cow as they come.
What We Actually Know
Here's the honest part: not much yet. There's no official diagnosis, no timeline, and no word on severity beyond the visual of a player unable to walk off on his own. "Apparent right leg injury" covers everything from a tweak to a season-altering problem, so resist the urge to fill in the blanks. The Raiders will presumably update once he's evaluated.
The passing-game context matters too. Cousins threw the ball Jeanty was chasing — the veteran QB posted 1,721 yards, 10 TDs and 5 INTs across 10 games in 2025 and trended up late, averaging +3.1 fantasy points over his final five outings versus his season mark. A healthy Jeanty as a checkdown and receiving option is part of what keeps that offense afloat; losing him reshapes it entirely.
For fantasy purposes, hold steady and watch the wire. If you've already got Jeanty ranked as a first-round back, don't panic-pivot off a practice report with zero details attached. If you're in a redraft still weeks from your event, monitor his status closely — a bad diagnosis instantly vaults whoever's next on the Raiders depth chart into deep-league relevance. Until we get a real update, this is a wait-and-see, not a drop.
