That's usually a bad sign for a player suiting up in a game on Sunday, and the Raiders actually elevated running back Roman Hemby from their practice squad on Saturday.

With Ashton Jeanty questionable because of foot and ankle injuries, the #Raiders elevated RB Roman Hemby.

The Raiders are 3.5-point road underdogs against the New England Patriots in Week 5, and they'd certainly miss Jeanty if he's unable to go.

The former first-roound pick has been dynamite this season, carrying the ball 78 times for 264 yards while also reeling in 19 of his 24 targets for 165 yards and two touchdowns. He's played 75.8 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps in 2026.

If he's unable to go, rookie Mike Washington Jr. would likely handle the majority of the backfield work for Las Vegas.

So, here's a look at how I'm betting on this Raiders backfield with Jeanty's status up in the air on Sunday.

Washington has been pretty impressive behind Jeanty this season, carrying the ball 24 times for 120 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and one score. He had five carries for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, and he's coming off a 10-touch performance in Week 4.

The rookie running back played a season-high 21.4 percent of the team's snaps in Week 4, and he could see that role expand in a big way if Jeanty is out — or limited — on Sunday.

New England is just 29th in EPA/Rush this season, so this is a strong matchup for either Raiders back on Sunday.

Even if Jeanty plays, Washington could have a big enough role where he finds the end zone. He's now seen five or more carries in three of four games and has multiple games with at least seven touches.
