Ashton Jeanty’s cryptic post sparks injury concerns among Raiders fans

Ashton Jeanty has dropped a cryptic message amid injury concerns, sparking worry amongst Las Vegas Raiders fans.

The star running back, entering his second year in the NFL, was helped off the field after injuring his leg in practice over the weekend.

After he went down, the Raiders said they were unsure how long Jeanty will be out, but the team does not consider it a long-term injury.

Reports have since suggested the sixth overall pick of the 2025 draft is believed to have sprained his ankle.

While that would not end his season, his status for Week 1 is in doubt, and a former Kansas City Chiefs star has already been linked to provide relief.

Jeanty has not spoken publicly about his issue, but did share a cryptic post on his Instagram account Wednesday.

He posted an image of himself taking a knee, along with the bible verse Romans 8:28.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose,” the verse reads.

Fans were quick to speculate on the meaning behind Jeanty’s post.

“A setback is a setup for a comeback. Let’s get it,” one commented.

“Heal up Deuce. Big things this year,” another said.

“Take both my ankles sir,” a third begged.

“Raider Nation has your back. Get healthy and be ready to rock and roll,” a fourth said.

What have the Raiders said about Ashton Jeanty’s injury?

While Jeanty’s post has fans worried, head coach Klint Kubiak provided somewhat of a positive update on his running back Tuesday.

“I’m not going to get into the injuries, he’s on the mend,” Kubiak told reporters.

He was then pressed on if there’s a possibility Jeanty starts the season on Injured Reserve.

“Not gonna talk about injuries, he’s on the mend,” Kubiak repeated.

The non-answer will no doubt frustrate Raiders fans, but isn’t uncommon from a head coach.

Raider Nation will need to continue to holds its breath, and hope to see Jeanty suit up in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins.
