Will Ashton Jeanty be ready when the Raiders open the season? Las Vegas is optimistic about its starting running back, but Jeanty still has not returned to practice after spraining his ankle. Jeanty suffered the injury during an Aug. 23 practice. The Raiders kept him on the 53-man roster instead of placing him on injured reserve. GM John Spytek says Jeanty is in a good spot and could return quicker than some expect. Head coach Klint Kubiak has said Las Vegas is counting on Jeanty being available for Week 1. But until he gets back on the field, there is still uncertainty.
