Link to storyThe injury to Ashton Jeanty was apparently not as serious as initially feared, as it was reported that he was diagnosed with a sprained ankle after going down during practice over the weekend. In his Tuesday press conference, head coach Klint Kubiak declined to give any specifics about Jeanty or the nature of his injury, saying simply that Jeanty is "on the mend."
| Footballguys view: Asked if there has been discussion about Jeanty possibly starting the season on injured reserve, Kubiak again said only that Jeanty is "on the mend." He did, however, give a clue that Jeanty's injury is not too serious when he smiled and noted "the power of prayer," in reference to the team coming together, taking a knee, and sharing a moment after Jeanty left the field. Jeanty did not practice on Tuesday. If the Raiders were to put Jeanty on injured reserve at the time of roster cuts, then he would be eligible to return after four weeks. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase says 'he's good' following him leaving practice on Tuesday, Aug. 25, following a fall in practice.
| Footballguys view: Chase landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and limped off the field without assistance from the medical staff. Chase spoke to trainers, but never left the field. Chase said on 1530 ESPN that he felt he could have returned to practice, but the team "pulled me" out of caution. "A little hyperextension, but other than that I'm fine," Chase said. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the Bengals' caution could extend to limiting Chase's practice time in the coming days, but it does not sound like there's much reason to worry about his availability for the start of the regular season. |
