Jeanty’s Injury: Hope for 2026 Return | Las Vegas Raiders News

Raiders’ star running back Jeanty suffered a scary ankle injury three weeks before kickoff, but early reports offer hope — it’s not season-ending. While no return timeline is set, the team’s optimistic he’ll be back by 2026, possibly even for Week One if it’s a mild sprain. They’ll likely ease him back in with rookie Mike Washington stepping up. Worst-case? A prolonged absence or offseason setback, which could force them to prioritize his long-term health over immediate wins. With the Raiders rebuilding and not championship contenders, this injury underscores how teams must balance player safety with roster development — getting Jeanty fully healthy without risking his future is now the top priority.
