Raiders GM John Spytek said Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is in a “good spot” and said “I expect him to be back as quick he can, maybe quicker than some people would expect. When that is, we’ll see.”

Well, yes, we will see. The Raiders haven’t really given much of an indication from the inside on when Jeanty will return, but he wasn’t placed on injured reserve on cutdown day (he can still be placed there before the start of Week 1) and so long as it the location of his ankle sprain remains low and not high, we’re generally optimistic that Jeanty can make it back in the first month of the season.
