Jeanty puts tough rookie year behind him with big debut in year 2
Ashton Jeanty’s breakout performance provided immediate optimism for the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense. Jeanty rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries and caught all six of his targets for 45 yards, including two touchdowns, in the Raiders’ 27-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. There were fears that Jeanty’s second season could be delayed after he injured his right ankle during an Aug. 23 practice.
But he participated fully in all three practices this week and delivered one of the most productive performances of his young career. Jeanty averaged just 3.7 yards per carry as a rookie behind a struggling offensive line.
