Ashton Jeanty Gets Limited Early Work as Raiders Meet Cowboys on Monday Night

Despite Dallas' defensive questions after recent roster moves, Las Vegas has leaned away from its rookie runner.

Overview

  • Jeanty was active but saw minimal usage on the Raiders’ first three drives with one carry for minus-1 yard and two catches for one yard.
  • By halftime, the rookie had just two carries for 10 yards and four receptions, reflecting a light workload in a game expected to feature him.
  • For the season, Jeanty is tied for the most scrimmage touchdowns among rookies with seven and ranks second in both scrimmage yards and rushing yards.
  • The matchup comes with both teams struggling this year, as Las Vegas entered at 2–7 and Dallas at 3–5–1.
  • Dallas’ defense has underperformed this season despite trade-deadline additions of Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, while the Raiders’ offensive line is rated 31st by PFF, a factor cited in Jeanty’s uneven production.
