The Raiders are still assessing running back Ashton Jeanty's status ahead of Week 1, with head coach Klint Kubiak saying the team is "counting on him" to be available, per NFL Trade Rumors. Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain in practice this week, putting his Week 1 availability in question. "Still on the mend, still working to get him back," Kubiak said when speaking to reporters on Friday, according to NFL Trade Rumors.

Jeanty's health will be a focal point for the Raiders as they shift focus from their preseason, which concluded Thursday night. Multiple outlets reported on Kubiak's comments regarding the running back's status, though only NFL Trade Rumors provided details about the ankle injury and the timeline of Jeanty's recovery efforts.
