Jeanty Injured, Kittle Activated Ahead of Season

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty suffered a high ankle sprain during practice, while San Francisco 49ers activated tight end George Kittle from the PUP list as the NFL regular season approaches.

Jeanty, who was expected to be a focal point of the Raiders' offense, collided with cornerback Darien Porter during practice and remained on the ground before being helped off without weight on his right leg. The promising young player had 975 rushing yards and five touchdowns in his 2025 rookie season. If Jeanty is forced to miss time, fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr. would take over primary backfield duties for the Raiders' regular-season opener against the Miami Dolphins at home.

Meanwhile, the 49ers received good news as they activated Kittle from the physically unable to perform list. Kittle practiced in full pads for the first time since suffering a torn right Achilles in January. Running back Christian McCaffrey also returned to practice after sitting out sessions due to tightness. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak noted the impact of having both players back, saying it gives the team energy and lifts everyone up. hiddenlangkawi.club
