What happened: Running back Ashton Jeanty has been officially cleared for action this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, shedding his injury designation. The Las Vegas Raiders will simultaneously be without tight end Brock Bowers, who was ruled out for the contest.

Why it matters: Losing a premier receiving threat forces a run-heavy script, making the backfield the unquestioned focal point. A massive workload will immediately test the running back after his August ankle sprain, while demanding Miami commit extra resources to the box.
