Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty welcomed to the NFL with punishing hit, sent to medical tent

Every NFL player will tell you they have a ‘Welcome to the NFL’ moment. Las Vegas running back Ashton Jeanty may have just had his, colliding with Tatum Bethune of the San Francisco 49ers. Jeanty was on the end of a punishing hit and was shaken up afterward.

He eventually came off the field and made his way into the medical tent. Luckily, everything appears to be okay, as Jeanty eventually got back into the game.

“#Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty in the medical tent,” Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network said via X. “Took a shot that last drive and was shaking his arm as he came off the field… Jeanty back in and running defenders over. Definitely OK.”

Not too long after, Jeanty showed everyone he was okay by getting into the end zone. It’s his first score of the preseason, unofficially opening an account many people expect to be open for a long, long time. At least, the folks in Las Vegas do.

On a second and goal from the two-yard line, Jeanty was able to cross the goal line. Some hearts may have stopped seeing the ball fall on the ground but thankfully, the touchdown was already called.
