For Raiders, Ashton Jeanty can play vs Bills, but should he?

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak has confirmed that running back Ashton Jeanty will take the field against the Buffalo Bills, dismissing internal discussions about resting him to allow his high ankle sprain and foot injury to heal. Although Jeanty managed 27 yards on 10 carries in the recent loss to the New England Patriots, Kubiak stated that the former Boise State star is feeling significantly better physically and plans to increase his full-speed practice repetitions.

The decision to keep Jeanty active comes despite the strong early showing by rookie Mike Washington Jr., who has demonstrated the capability to carry the offensive load. While Jeanty's personal commitment to playing through pain is respected by his teammates, the coaching staff faces the strategic question of whether his current physical limitations allow him to be truly effective rather than merely present on the field.
