Ian Rapoport delivers harsh ‘reality’ on Ashton Jeanty’s injury status

The Las Vegas Raiders got some unfortunate injury news over the weekend. Superstar running back Ashton Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain in practice on Sunday that had the team worried. The prognosis is better than expected, but Jeanty could still miss some time early in the regular season.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport gave an update on Jeanty’s injury status after this weekend’s scary moment.

“My understanding, and this is something I reported with colleague Adam Schefter over the weekend, is that it’s an ankle sprain believed to be more low than high. And not considered to be a major injury,” Rapoport said on The Insiders. “But it is a real injury. The reality is, there is a chance that Ashton Jeanty may not be on the field for Week 1.”

Rapoport explained that many around the organization were originally worried that Jeanty had suffered a serious injury. Fortunately, their worst fears were averted and the star running back should return soon.
