Ashton Jeanty helped off Raiders practice field after awkward landing, unable to put weight on right leg

The Raiders’ practice session took an abrupt turn on Sunday when running back Ashton Jeanty was helped off the field after landing awkwardly during 11-on-11 drills. According to CBS Sports, Jeanty immediately appeared to have trouble with his right leg, unable to put weight on it as trainers responded near the field.

The incident occurred while the team was working live-action coverage and routes, with Jeanty involved in a play that combined ball pursuit with open-field contact. CBS Sports reported that Jeanty was diving for a catch when he landed awkwardly, and the moment slowed down as teammates appeared to freeze as he lay on the ground.

Trainers then attended to Jeanty before he was helped up and aided off the practice area. As described by CBS Sports, the response from the team was quiet and noticeable, with Raiders players reportedly getting down on a knee and staying silent for a period before practice continued.

For a team, a running back injury early in a camp practice can have ripple effects beyond the immediate absence. Even without any official diagnosis in the report, the inability to bear weight typically raises concern that the issue could be more than a minor knock, since leg injuries that affect loading are often treated as higher-stakes until evaluated.

Jeanty’s role matters because the Raiders’ offseason and training camp workload for a feature back tends to shape the team’s identity on offense. Live 11-on-11 repetitions are where coaches test timing on checkdowns, pass protection assignments, and the rhythm between backs and quarterbacks, so any limitation in practice availability can disrupt those reps quickly.

Until the team provides an update, the immediate focus is on his status for the next steps in camp. The most important question will be whether he can return to normal movement and weight-bearing activities after evaluation, and whether the team adjusts practice workload for both Jeanty and the backfield group to maintain continuity.

In the near term, Raiders fans and roster planners will be watching the sequence of practice days that follow the incident. If Jeanty misses time, the offensive staff will likely lean more heavily on complementary backs and on-game reps during remaining live sessions, which can also influence how roles are divided once the regular season approaches.
