Speaking Wednesday, Kubiak said Jeanty is a young player with a bright future and emphasized the coaching staff’s job is to develop him. Jeanty had a “soft benching,” finishing with two carries for nine rushing yards and three catches for 64 receiving yards, while Washington recorded 25 rushes for 83 yards.
