Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty will be active for Sunday's matchup with the New England Patriots.
Jeanty, who underwent a pregame workout, was deemed healthy enough to play despite suffering an ankle injury in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. The Raiders ultimately listed him as questionable leading into the game with the ankle injury along with what's being called a "flare up" of plantar fasciitis.
Jeanty is expected to split carries with Mike Washington Jr. and Dylan Laube -- the former finished with 58 yards on 15 rushes last week, while the latter two got 10 touches and put up 13 all-purpose yards. It's clear who the club would like the majority of snaps to go to.

The Raiders are expected to take advantage of a depleted Patriots secondary on Sunday, as the home club will be without cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, Channing Canada, and Karon Prunty.
If anything, that should help take some of the load off Jeanty.
Las Vegas will be without running back Roman Hemby, wide receiver Jalen Nailor, offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III, defensive lineman JJ Pegues, and defensive backs Tristin McCollum and Dalton Johnson.
