Raiders' RB Injury Puts Bills' Davis on Trade Block
24 Aug
Summary
- Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty suffered a potential serious injury in practice.
- Ray Davis seeks more playing time, showcased ability in recent games.
- Ty Johnson's performance declined in 2025, facing roster competition.
The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly exploring trade options for Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis after Ashton Jeanty sustained a significant injury during a recent practice on Sunday, August 23, 2026. Jeanty landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and required assistance off the field, leading to concerns about his availability for the upcoming season.
Davis, who has expressed a desire for increased playing time, could be a viable solution for the Raiders. He previously stepped into a lead role for the Bills in 2024, rushing for 97 yards on 20 carries against the New York Jets. In the 2025 season finale, he again took a prominent role, accumulating 151 yards and a receiving touchdown.
While Davis has also excelled as a kick returner, earning an All-Pro selection in 2025 with an NFL-leading 30.4-yard average, his position on the Bills' depth chart faces competition. Undrafted rookie Ian Wheeler has impressed in training camp and preseason, potentially challenging veteran Ty Johnson, whose statistics have declined, including a drop in rushing yards per attempt from 5.2 in 2024 to 4.0 in 2025.
