Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's official injury report.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said that second-year running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.
