Jeanty was questionable for the contest after he sat out Friday’s practice with ankle and foot injuries. Multiple media outlets reported Jeanty had a flare-up of plantar fasciitis and an ankle injury he sustained in late August.
Jeanty, 22, has started all four games this season and has rushed 78 times for 264 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. His longest run has been 19 yards. He also has caught 19 passes for 165 yards and two scores.
Jeanty appeared to hurt his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday’s 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he finished the game.
He had 266 carries for 975 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games (all starts) as a rookie last season. Las Vegas selected Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Boise State.
