Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty was a full participant in practice Thursday, September 17, and that’s huge news for anyone watching the league. This dude is already showing he’s a serious threat in this league.

Jeanty’s Ankle Looks Good to Go

Despite battling an ankle injury, Jeanty showed absolutely no signs of rust in the opener. He was out there at full speed, and after that full practice, it looks like he’s going to be fully ready to roll for Week 2. That’s a massive relief for the Raiders, because what he did in Week 1 was something special.

Week 1 Numbers Are WILD, Week 2 Stakes Are High

Jeanty was straight up ELECTRIC, leading the Raiders in *both* rushing and receiving yards in Week 1! Think about that for a second. That’s not something you see every day from a running back, especially one coming off an ankle issue. The guy is a dual threat and then some. He’s set to be deployed as an RB1 against the Chargers, and after that Week 1 performance, you know he’s going to be a key player to watch.

Next up, Jeanty and the Raiders face the Chargers in Week 2. Can he keep up that insane production and solidify his spot as a league-wide must-watch talent? You know the entire league will be tuned in to see what he does next.
