Video Maxx Crosby will NOT finish season with Raiders, still have faith in Jaxson Dart this season? 👀 FTF Danny Parkins, Coach Eric Mangini and Willie Colon discuss whether Maxx Crosby should be traded, if they have faith in Jaxson Dart and whether the Philadelphia Eagles will take a step forward or backwards. Indiana HC Curt Cignetti then joins to discuss the Hoosiers' expectations coming off an undefeated season and back-to-back Coach of the Year awards.

Star running back Ashton Jeanty suffered an apparent leg injury during practice on Sunday and had to be helped off the field. The 22-year-old was unable to put any pressure on his right leg.

Jeanty sustained the injury when he dove to catch a pass during a team period and stayed on the ground until he was helped off. As Jeanty remained on the ground, the indoor practice facility went silent.

Coming off a strong rookie season, Jeanty had not played much during the team’s two preseason games. He had just three carries for 16 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in the team’s first preseason game,and did not play in the team’s second preseason game against the Houston Texans.

Jeanty was drafted with the No. 6 overall pick out of Boise State last year and was productive despite playing behind a poor offensive line. In 17 games last year, Jeanty rushed for 975 yards and five touchdowns while catching 55 passes for 346 yards and five receiving touchdowns.

If Jeanty were to miss any time, the team would turn to fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube, undrafted rookie Roman Hemby and Dare Ogunbowale in his stead. Washington took the first-team reps in Jeanty’s place following his injury.

Washington had already been taking some first-team reps prior to Jeanty’s injury, as he has had a strong training camp.
