On Saturday, the Raiders played a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. While the team lost 22-19, Jeanty had a breakout performance. He made seven carries for 33 yards and a TD, while also adding one reception for two yards. It was a huge improvement from his preseason debut last week.

Jeanty had his best play of the game in the first quarter when he got the ball and went on a strong run. After breaking through the line of scrimmage, he stiff-armed an opposing defender for a few extra yards before being tackled to the ground. The play showcased Jeanty's incredible strength and speed, which were on display every game last year when he was with the Boise State Broncos.

"I've arrived, and it's time to keep going and make plays for this team," Ashton Jeanty said.

He also earned praise from many of his teammates after the game. Notably, quarterback Geno Smith spoke about him to the media.

"It fires me up just seeing the way Jeanty runs," Geno Smith said. "He's running through people, and he's not shying away from contact. He's going to be a special player."

It is not clear if Jeanty will play again in the final preseason game of the year for the Raiders. They are scheduled to play the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday at 10 p.m. ET. While Jeanty could use the reps, the team might be hesitant to risk injury by playing him in three straight preseason games. Heading into the season, Jeanty is the starting RB for the Raiders.
