Overview
- Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly compared Jeanty’s early usage to NBA-style load management, saying heavy carries now could hurt the team later in a 17-game season.
- Head coach Pete Carroll said the No. 6 pick is being broken in and that his opportunities will grow as he adjusts to the NFL.
- Through two games, Jeanty has 30 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown, including 19 rushes for 38 yards in Week 1 and 11 for 43 in Week 2.
- Jeanty’s snap rate dropped from 85.7% in Week 1 to 55.7% in Week 2 as Las Vegas used more of a committee with Zamir White and Dylan Laube.
- Former Steelers star James Harrison criticized the Raiders for limiting the rookie’s touches, even as the team searches for a more effective ground game ahead of Week 3 at Washington.
