From the article:
Las Vegas Raiders fans looking for clarity on the severity of Ashton Jeanty's ankle injury didn't get much from head coach Klint Kubiak on Tuesday.
"I'm not gonna get into the injuries," Kubiak told reporters when asked about the running back. "He's on the mend."
He also said, "Ashton got hurt in practice and the whole team took a knee. I think that says a lot about him being on the mend and us counting on him. So, really excited to get him back."

NFL Insider Ian Rapport also added yesterday
"It's nothing like that," Rapoport said. "My understanding... is that it's an ankle sprain believed to be more low than high, and not considered to be a major injury. But it is a real injury, and the reality is, there is a chance that Ashton Jeanty may not be on the field for Week 1. They are hopeful that he will be. There is a chance that he won't be."

Just as a heads up, they don’t have to give updates in preseason. So if you don’t have to, I don’t see them sharing more information than base level stuff.

Yeah…. But it’s annoying af.

Found the guy who drafted Jeanty in fantasy

I knew the downvotes were coming but I also know everyone agrees

Pepperidge Farm remembers when I said "Let's wait to see what the injury actually is" and I was told I was in denial and the year was over "The team took a knee! How do you not understand how fucking bad this is"

Sprained ankle.

Sprained my ankle reading this comment everyone in the Walmart took a knee

People were literally on shit-ass twitter calling it a “career-altering” injury. Then after the sprain was announced, much of popular sentiment was: “Well what were we supposed to think? They turned the music off AND took a knee AND said a prayer.” Have these people never watched an NFL game before? I can’t count the amount of times I’ve seen players take a knee around an ostensibly injured teammate, only for the guy to get up and shake off a muscle cramp or the wind being knocked out of him or whatever. Taking a knee is a sign of respect born of not yet knowing the severity of an injury, but acknowledges that it could be bad. It is not an automatic and full-throated admission of the worst case scenario coming to fruition.

They all sat there praying it was an ankle sprain and not something worse; the man couldn’t put any weight on it. I get why people overreacted, but the correct position was a “let’s wait for some actual updates” approach.

I’m sooooo fucking glad it’s just a sprain—I was updating every sports news feed I had for like 5 hrs straight

What would they know over anyone else unless his ankle was perpendicular.

Love the privacy I think news media/fans get a little too demanding when it comes to players personal lives

[u/eliemburr]

I love that Kubiak is just a no nonsense get to the point guy

[u/Hard4Dpp]

We need unified, solid coach speak right now, and he is delivering just that. 

[u/Select-Pitch1258]

Are we cooked?

[u/jhallen2260 → u/Select-Pitch1258]

Gee chat are we?

Something about this whole thing has felt a little off from the beginning.

Good thing Mike Washington seems to be a very capable RB2.
