Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty gave the team a scare early in Saturday\u2019s game against the 49ers and then he gave them a reminder of why they made him a first round pick. <\/p>\n

Jeanty went to the sideline medical tent after taking a hard hit on the first Raiders possession, but he returned to the game for the second drive and got right back to work. Jeanty picked up 13 yards on a run that saw him run through cornerback Deommodore Lenoir and then thumped his way into the end zone for his first touchdown of the preseason a few plays later. <\/p>\n

After running for negative yards in his first preseason action, Jeanty had seven carries for 33 yards and one catch in a performance that Raiders head coach Pete Carroll called \u201ctough as hell\u201d in his postgame press conference. Jeanty said he suffered \u201ca little stinger\u201d on the opening drive and that he feels he showed he belongs in the NFL before the day was out. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was definitely today<\/a> for sure,\u201d Jeanty said. \u201cIt takes time as a rookie to gain that confidence. I\u2019m here. I\u2019ve arrived and it\u2019s time to keep going and make plays for this team.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Raiders could do without the injury scare, they\u2019ll take everything else they saw from Jeanty on Saturday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty gave the team a scare early in Saturday\u2019s game against the 49ers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-76567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
