Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is questionable for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots after not practicing Friday due to an ankle and foot injury, coach Klint Kubiak said.
Jeanty went from full participant Wednesday to limited Thursday and was sidelined during the team's final practice before traveling to Massachusetts. His foot injury first appeared on the practice report Thursday, though Kubiak declined to provide specifics on how it occurred. "It's that time of year," Kubiak said. "Guys are getting banged up, and if he can't go, then we got to get the next man up."
Jeanty has been dealing with an ankle injury since late August. While he said it hasn't impacted his performance, his numbers have declined since rushing for 102 yards in the season opener against the Miami Dolphins. In the past three games, he has totaled 55 carries for 162 yards (2.9 yards per attempt).
If Jeanty is unable to play, rookie Mike Washington Jr. will serve as the team's lead running back. Washington has recorded 120 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts this season.
