What happened: Ashton Jeanty missed practice late this week due to a combined ankle injury and plantar fasciitis issue. He will undergo a pregame workout to determine if he can physically compete. The Las Vegas Raiders are leaving the final decision up to how he feels on the turf.

Why it matters: Running backs rely entirely on their explosiveness and lower body injuries sap that immediate burst. Pushing him to play compromised is a short sighted move that could cause lingering damage. The coaching staff must protect their long term investment by sitting him until he returns to full health.
