Ashton Jeanty had little production in a brief outing in his first NFL preseason game.
Jeanty looked better in his second game, but also had a "Welcome to the NFL" moment.

Jeanty, who had 13 yards rushing on a pair of carries early in the Las Vegas Raiders' game on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers, caught a pass on Las Vegas' first drive, lowered his shoulder and got hit hard. Linebacker Luke Gifford gave Jeanty a hard hit, and although Jeanty got up quickly, he came out of the game and went to the medical tent to presumably have his shoulder looked at.

For those who have fantasy drafts coming up in the next couple weeks, seeing Jeanty suffer an injury was some alarming news. The good news was that Jeanty came out of the medical tent with his helmet and uniform on, and was back on the field on the next drive. And on his next drive he ran over a defender on a nice run.

Jeanty looked fast and explosive. It was a nice rebound from last week, when he had -1 yard on three carries. He also ran hard and initiated contact. He showed off his power on a touchdown run, keeping his legs moving at the goal line until he was in the end zone. That will be the first touchdown of many for him in a Raiders uniform.

Jeanty was the sixth pick of the draft and one of the best running back prospects in many years. Seeing him go to the medical tent caused some skipped heartbeats, but he looked healthy. And for his few carries Saturday, he looked every bit as good as advertised.
