Pre-game Work and Clearance
Ashton Jeanty took the field at Gillette Stadium ahead of Sunday's game, drawing attention from general manager John Spytek, offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko, running backs coach Omar Young and wellness coordinator Alex Guerrero. The starting back had been listed as questionable with ankle and foot issues but received clearance to play against the Patriots.
Injury Timeline and Practice Adjustments
A flare-up tied to plantar fasciitis and an ankle problem from late August raised questions about Jeanty's availability. He moved from full participation on Wednesday to limited action on Thursday before sitting out the final session. The foot concern first showed up on the practice report that day, prompting the team to elevate undrafted rookie Roman Hemby from the practice squad. Hemby was ultimately ruled inactive.
Rushing Output and Team Needs
The Raiders are counting on improved results from Jeanty to strengthen their ground game. After posting 102 yards in the season-opening win over the Miami Dolphins, he has recorded 55 carries for 162 yards at 2.9 yards per attempt across the last three contests.
