Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain and left practice early today, according to Adam Schefter and Ryan McFadden.
During a team period, Jeanty dove for a catch and landed awkwardly. Trainers helped him off the field and he could not put any weight on his right leg. The injury has been diagnosed as an ankle sprain, not a knee injury.
Is the Ashton Jeanty ankle injury long-term?
No. The Raiders organization is breathing easier and does not consider this a long-term injury. However, the team is still unsure how long Jeanty will be out.
What this means for your roster
Jeanty is a high-stakes fantasy asset. The news that this is not long-term is positive, but his exact timeline remains unclear. Hold if you have him. Check the waiver wire for his handcuff now, before the Raiders set an official return date and roster moves spike. If you are in a trade window, avoid moving him until there is clarity on when he will be back.
