Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after a limited practice Thursday and a did-not-participate session Friday.
Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo): Ashton Jeanty questionable for the #Raiders after a limited practice yesterday and a DNP today.
Jeanty, the rookie out of Boise State, has been a focal point of the Raiders' offense, so his status carries real weight for Las Vegas on both sides of the game plan. Being listed as questionable leaves the door open for him to play, but the late-week DNP is a caution flag for the club's backfield.
If Jeanty is limited or unavailable, the Raiders would lean more heavily on their backup options behind him. The running back room's readiness will factor into Las Vegas' approach against New England's defense, and the final decision likely comes down to how he moves in pre-game warmups on Sunday.
