What happened: The Las Vegas Raiders have curtailed the offensive role of running back Ashton Jeanty, limiting his backfield touches. Jeanty saw minimal involvement during Las Vegas' victory over the New York Jets while the offensive scheme turned elsewhere. The shift continues a steady multi-game decline in backfield opportunities.

Why it matters: Las Vegas defeated the New York Jets 38-33 to stay in contention, yet the offensive restructuring raises long-term questions about Jeanty's roster fit. If the backfield rotation remains altered, trade discussions could emerge for teams seeking running back reinforcement. The altered workload underscores a philosophical transition away from building the offense around a featured back.

What to watch: Watch whether the coaching staff maintains the reduced rotation or reintegrates Jeanty ahead of the trade deadline.
