Overview
- Jeanty is officially listed questionable with ankle and foot issues after practicing fully Wednesday, being limited Thursday, and not practicing Friday which created this game-week uncertainty.
- Coach Klint Kubiak has not ruled Jeanty out but the missed practice is the latest signal team trainers are treating his availability as doubtful for Sunday.
- Jeanty has been a key offensive weapon through four games with 78 carries for 264 rushing yards and 19 catches for 165 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.
- If Jeanty cannot play, fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr. is expected to start and receive a larger early-down workload after totaling 120 rushing yards and his first NFL touchdown so far.
- The decision affects game plans on both sides because New England is missing top cornerbacks and Las Vegas is without multiple receivers and an offensive lineman, so turnovers, early-down rushing and the Raiders' use of tight end Brock Bowers are likely to matter most.
