Ashton Jeanty is questionable to play Sunday

The Las Vegas Raiders' offensive plans for Sunday's showdown against the New England Patriots face uncertainty after starting running back Ashton Jeanty was listed as questionable to play. Jeanty, who has been dealing with both an ankle issue and a foot injury, did not participate in Friday's practice, raising doubts about his availability.

If he sits out, rookie Mike Washington would step into the starting role, offering the Raiders an opportunity to rejuvenate their ground game—they currently rank last in the NFL in rushing yards per game. Meanwhile, the Patriots' secondary is in disarray, with four of their five cornerbacks—including starters Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis—sidelined, creating a potential opening for the Raiders' passing attack.

The team also faces additional personnel challenges, with starting wide receiver Jalen Nailor out due to a concussion and rookie offensive lineman Trey Zuhn missing Friday’s practice with a knee injury. On the bright side, starting right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson is expected to return after missing last week with a groin injury, while wide receiver Dont’e Thornton remains on the injured reserve, though he is not expected to be activated this week.
