Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said Ashton Jeanty is “still on the mend” as he recovers from his ankle injury.

Funny enough, it’s the same line Kubiak provided to reporters on Tuesday when asked about the health of his RB1. With teams not being required to release official injury reports until the week leading up to the first game of the season, it’s possible that we won’t have a clear answer regarding Jeanty and his availability until the Raiders begin preparing for Week 1’s game against the Dolphins. In the event Jeanty can’t go, rookie Mike Washington is expected to see a substantial role after a solid preseason in which he rushed 23 times for 168 yards while averaging an impressive 7.3 YPC. Washington is worth a draft pick in all formats right now, especially with Jeanty’s status up in the air.
