Avoids DUI charge
Jacobs won't be charged with a DUI following a Jan. 4 arrest related to a single vehicle collision in Las Vegas, Nev., Glenn Puit of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Jacobs' legal woes aren't over, though, as he faces a misdemeanor count of failure to decrease speed or use due care under certain circumstances. Once the legal process works itself out -- he has a March court date on the docket -- the NFL could levy a punishment if he was deemed to violate the personal conduct policy. On the field this past season, Jacobs accounted for 1,303 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 273 carries and 33 catches (45 targets) in 15 games.

Arrested on DUI charge
Jacobs was arrested Monday on a DUI charge relating to a single vehicle collision, Kevin Bolinger of FOX 5 Vegas reports.
Analysis: Jacobs was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated after the vehicular collision, per Bolinger. The second-year pro has since been released from both custody and the hospital, and he's been assigned with a March court appearance date. Based on the NFL's precedent of assigning punishments for DUI arrests, it's possible that Jacobs could face a short suspension during the 2021 season. He had 273 carries for 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns through 15 games in 2020, while also securing 33 of 45…read more

Scores twice in Week 17 win
Jacobs carried the ball 15 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-31 win over the Broncos. He failed to catch his only target.
Analysis: After gashing Denver for two TDs in their first meeting in Week 10, Jacobs repeated the feat in the season finale. The second-year back finished the campaign with 1,065 rushing yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns, but he dealt with nagging injuries once again and has yet to play a full 16-game schedule. Jacobs will head into 2021 at the top of the Raiders backfield depth chart.

Held scoreless in loss
Jacobs totaled 69 yards on 13 carries during Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Jacobs took an IV on Saturday, as he was not feeling well going into the game, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. Jacobs had an opportunity to punch in a game-winning touchdown with two overtime carries inside the five-yard line during a Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Again against Miami, the 22-year-old came up short in a pair of short-yardage situations. A Jacobs first-quarter goal-line carry landed Las Vegas a yard short of a touchdown before Derek Carr scored on a QB sneak the…read more

Powers through hefty workload
Jacobs rushed 26 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 38 yards in the Raiders' 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Jacobs not only came into the critical divisional clash for the Raiders dealing with a nagging ankle issue, but he exited the game late in the fourth quarter to have his knee tended to. However, the second-year lead back quickly returned on the fourth play of Las Vegas' overtime-opening possession, logging six touches on a drive that culminated in a Daniel Carlson field goal. Jacobs' game-tying one-yard scoring leap in the third quarter served as his 10th touchdown of the season, while his…read more

Back in action
Jacobs (knee) has returned to Thursday's game against the Chargers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jacobs barely spent any time on the sideline, as he retook the field in the middle of Las Vegas' first drive of overtime. With the Raiders still fighting for a tentative playoff spot and in a must-win scenario, and Derek Carr (groin) already out, Jacobs' return to the field will no doubt be invaluable.

Injures knee Thursday
Jacobs (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Jacobs left late in the fourth quarter and isn't on the field to begin overtime. The second-year pro was previously managing an ankle issue, and now he's dealing with a knee injury in addition to that. Devontae Booker stands to see added work out of the Raiders' backfield if Jacobs can't return.

Cleared to play Thursday
Jacobs (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs approached Week 14 action listed as questionable, but he suited up and played 29 of the Raiders' 68 offensive snaps in the team's loss to the Colts, carrying 13 times for 49 yards and catching three of his five targets for 25 yards in the process. Though he was listed as a limited practice participant this week, Jacobs has been cleared to play Thursday and will once again head the Raiders backfield against a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of 120 rushing yards per game.

Limited practice Tuesday
Jacobs (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: For a second consecutive day, the Raiders listed Jacobs as limited, only this time they held him out of practice. The team seems to be managing his reps with a short turnaround between games, but Wednesday's injury report may still leave the running back as a question mark for Thursday's game versus the Chargers. While Jacobs played through his ankle issue this past Sunday against the Colts, he logged a season-low share of the offensive snaps (43 percent) en route to 16 touches for 74 yards…read more

Jacobs (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: It's not a surprise to see Jacobs' name on the Raiders' initial Week 15 injury/practice report. The running back headed into Week 14 action listed as questionable, but he was able to suit up and log 29 (of a possible 68) snaps on offense in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts. In the process, Jacobs carried 13 times for 49 yards and caught three of his five targets for 25 yards.

Held in check vs. Colts
Jacobs (ankle) carried 13 times for 49 yards and caught three of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Jacobs, who came into the game nursing a nagging injury, managed just 3.8 yards per carry against a tough Indianapolis front. His rushing attempts were limited by a lopsided score, and he failed to make a notable impact in the passing game despite receiving his most targets since Week 1. Assuming Jacobs didn't aggravate the injury, he'll look to get back on track Thursday against an inconsistent Chargers defensive unit.

Draws the start Sunday
Jacobs (ankle) started at running back for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Colts, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A pre-game Instagram post by the running back suggesting that he wasn't playing Sunday caused a stir in the fantasy community, but once Jacobs began participating in warmups, it became apparent that he'd been joking and was in line to play, as had been previously implied by his active status for the contest.

Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Jacobs (ankle) is going through pre-game warmups in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Good to go Sunday
Jacobs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Jacobs was considered questionable after practicing as a limited participant Thursday and Friday, but he's all set to play Week 14. The 22-year-old had only seven carries for 27 yards and three catches for 17 yards Week 12 and sat out last week's loss to the Falcons with the ankle injury. He gets a tough draw Sunday against a Colts run defense that's allowing 3.8 yards per carry.

Jacobs (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The second-year tailback received the questionable tag after practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, and he's on track to suit up Sunday. Jacobs sat out last week's win over the Jets after he sustained the ankle sprain Week 12, but it appears his absence will be limited to a single game.

Listed as questionable for Week 14
Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging limited practices both Thursday and Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com
Analysis: Jacobs sat out Wednesday's session, but the fact that he practiced Thursday and Friday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- would seem to bode well for his Week 14 availability. Final confirmation of the running back's status will arrive once the Raiders inactives are released in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Resumes practicing
Jacobs (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Raiders list Jacobs for Sunday's game against the Colts, but his return to the field Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests that the running back has a chance to return to action this weekend. If that doesn't happen, however, Devontae Booker would be in line to lead the team's backfield again, with Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick on hand to work in complementary/change-of-pace roles.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Jacobs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Earlier this week, coach Jon Gruden was pessimistic about Jacobs' chances of suiting up Sunday against the Colts, and not much seems to have changed on that front. If Jacobs is forced to miss a second consecutive game this weekend, Devontae Booker would be in line to headline Las Vegas' backfield again, with Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick also on hand to provide support.

Looking unlikely for Week 14
Coach Jon Gruden said Monday that he doesn't have much confidence that Jacobs (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Colts, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Jacobs didn't practice at all before being ruled out for last weekend's narrow win over the Jets, and it looks like he could be trending toward a two-game absence due to an ankle sprain. Devontae Booker was ineffective in the lead role versus New York, but he could get another chance to handle a notable workload against Indianapolis' stout defensive front.

Could play Week 14
Jacobs (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Jets, but the Raiders are hopeful the running back can return in Week 14, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's a bit of an optimistic tone considering the running back didn't practice all week. Of course, the Raiders would like to have their star running back healthy as the team pushes for a playoff spot, but the tone of Saturday's latest report seems to suggest it'll once again come down to Jacobs' practice status later next week. For now, expect Devontae Booker to get the bulk of the carries in Jacobs' absence.

Sits out another practice
Jacobs (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs has now missed back-to-back practices due to an ankle sprain sustained during last weekend's blowout loss to the Falcons. It's been suggested that the issue is relatively minor and that Jacobs still has a shot to suit up Week 13, but he'd most likely need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to play during Sunday's game against the Jets. Devontae Booker and Jalen Richard, both of whom are practicing in full, would stand to lead Las Vegas' backfield if Jacobs can't go.

Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously suggested that Jacobs has a chance to play through his ankle sprain Sunday against the Jets, but with a missed practice under his belt to start the week, the running back's status needs to be monitored in the coming days.

Could play this week
Jacobs (ankle) has a shot to suit up against the Jets on Sunday despite his sprained ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jacobs' medical evaluations Monday confirmed that he's avoided any sort of major injury and is simply dealing with an ankle sprain. It looks as though he has a fair shot to take the field Week 13, depending on how well he holds up at practice. If Jacobs were to miss any time, however, Devontae Booker would be the favorite to lead Las Vegas' backfield.

Dealing with ankle sprain
Jacobs suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday's 43-6 blowout loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jacobs had just seven carries for 27 yards and three catches for 17 yards versus the Falcons, as game script and the ankle injury he sustained mid-game minimized his involvement. He also lost a fumble near the Raiders' own end zone in the third quarter. Jacobs is slated to undergo more medical tests Monday, but Rapoport's note that the injury "looked worse than it is" suggests optimism that he could be good to go for Week 13's favorable road matchup against the Jets.

Loses fumble in blowout loss
Jacobs (ankle) registered 27 rushing yards on seven carries while catching all three of his targets for 17 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-6 loss to Atlanta. He also lost one fumble.
Analysis: Jacobs' fumble came at the 1:53 mark of the third quarter with Las Vegas backed up at its own 10-yard line. The giveaway allowed Atlanta to tack on another field goal to an already-dominant 30-6 lead. The second-year pro out of Alabama posted his second-lowest rushing total of the 2020 campaign during Sunday's loss, as the game script heavily restricted his involvement with the Raiders trailing by 13 going into halftime. It's hard to imagine Jacobs' usage fading for the same reason Week 13 with…read more

Assuming no in-game setbacks, Jacobs will be in line for his usual lead role versus Atlanta, a context that has through 10 games resulted in him averaging a fantasy-friendly 19.9 carries for 75.5 yards per game -- to go along with nine TDs -- as well as 2.4…read more

TD salvages modest rushing output
Jacobs rushed 17 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Jacobs was held under 4.0 yards per carry by Kansas City's defense for the second time in as many meetings this year. Unlike their previous meeting back in Week 5, the bruising back saw fewer touches and one less score despite the Raiders playing ahead for the majority of the contest. Perhaps a more run-centric gameplan could have altered the disappointing outcome of the contest for the rising star and the rest of Raider Nation.

Rolls through Broncos in Week 10
Jacobs registered 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, adding four catches for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-12 win against Denver.
Analysis: Jacobs torched the Broncos for 5.3 yards per carry with assistance from five runs of nine yards or more, notching his third multi-TD outing of 2020 in the process. The 2019 No. 24 overall draft choice has garnered 15 or more offensive touches in every game but one this season. Las Vegas prepares for a rematch with Kansas City in Week 11; the first time the teams met this season, Jacobs compiled 85 scrimmage yards and two TDs against the Chiefs' 28th-ranked rush defense.

Finds end zone Sunday
Jacobs carried the ball 14 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: After getting a season-high 31 totes last week in Cleveland, Jacobs saw a much smaller workload this time around -- perhaps due to the knee injury that limited him in practice during the week -- and ceded eight carries to Devontae Booker, but he was still able to score his sixth TD of the year on a 14-yard run in the second quarter. Jacobs should see something more like his typical volume of touches in Week 10 against a stingy Broncos run defense.

Active for Sunday's game
Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Jacobs is coming off a Week 8 effort in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the Raiders' 16-6 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. With Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium, weather won't factor into the game plan; nevertheless, barring any in-game setbacks, Jacobs still seems destined to remain fairly busy versus the Chargers, given that he's averaging 21 carries per game to date.

Though he didn't finish the week as a full participant, the Raiders are apparently optimistic that Jacobs will be ready to handle his usual role as the team's lead back. Confirmation on Jacobs' status won't come until the Raiders release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. kickoff, but fantasy managers can tentatively plan on having him in their lineups.

Huge workload in Week 8 win

Analysis: The 2019 first-round draft choice was coming off his worst NFL rushing performance entering Week 8, as he managed just 17 yards on 10 carries the preceding Sunday against Tampa Bay's No. 1 rush defense. Jacobs may have been held to 25 or fewer receiving yards for the sixth straight game against the Browns, but his Week 8 totals established new season highs in both carries and rush yards.

Analysis: Jacobs was limited in all three of Vegas' practice sessions this week, but he'll be out there on game day.

Analysis: So far, the Raiders haven't suggested that Jacobs' status for Sunday's game against the Browns is in any danger, despite his lack of full activity to begin Week 8.

Analysis: Jacobs' rushing prospects weren't exactly bright going into a matchup against the stingiest run defense in the league, but his 1.7 yards per carry average was nevertheless somewhat jarring from a fantasy perspective.

However, the second-year back was able to power into the end zone from seven and two yards out in the fourth quarter, and a seven-yard run on Las Vegas' final drive helped ice the win by forcing KC to use its last timeout.

Held in check by Bills
Jacobs carried the ball 15 times for 48 yards and caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Buffalo's front seven didn't give Jacobs much room to roam, and his 3.2 yards per carry was his worst single-game average so far this season. The second-year back should be more productive in Week 5 against a Chiefs defense that's given up 5.3 YPC through its first three games.

Pedestrian in Week 3 loss
Jacobs (hip) rushed 16 times for 71 yards and caught three of four targets for 12 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: New England excels at shutting down opposing top players, and that defensive approach coupled with Jacobs playing through a hip injury resulted in a mediocre performance from the young running back. Things don't get much easier with the undefeated Bills coming to town in Week 4, though Buffalo did allow over 100 rushing yards to Rams running back Darrell Henderson on Sunday.

Suits up Sunday
Jacobs (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs returned to a limited session Friday and he'll give it a go Sunday. Assuming no in-game issues, he's poised to continue to head the Raiders' backfield versus New England. Through his team's first two games, Jacobs has logged 52 carries for 181 yards and three TDs, while adding seven catches on nine targets for 63 yards.

Jacobs (hip) is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 22-year-old missed the first two practices of the week but practiced as a limited participant Friday to earn the questionable tag, and he's apparently continued to progress in his recovery from the hip issue. Jacobs has 52 carries and seven receptions for 244 scrimmage yards through two games, and barring a setback he appears poised for another big workload Sunday.

Listed as questionable after limited practice
Jacobs (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs returned to a limited session Friday. The same applies to star tight end Darren Waller (knee). We'll have to see if the team was simply exercising caution with two key playmakers, or if their Week 3 status is actually in any danger. Fortunately, the Raiders kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, so the duo's availability will be clarified in advance of the first wave of NFL kickoffs.

jacobs (hip) returned to practice Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jacobs missed the Raiders' first two sessions this week due to a hip injury of unknown severity.

Jacobs (hip) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: With back-to-back absences to start the practice week, what Jacobs does Friday will be pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. It's still possible that his reps simply are being managed, but if Jacobs ends up out or limited at all this weekend, Jalen Richard and Devontae Booker are next up for the Raiders' backfield touches.

Garners 30 touches
Jacobs rushed 27 times for 88 yards and caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 34-24 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Jacobs again saw a lion's share of touches as the centerpiece of Las Vegas' offense. Although he averaged under four yards per carry for the second straight week, Jacobs benefitted from his huge volume, now topping 85 yards in consecutive outings. The second-year tailback also got involved in the passing game, snagging each ball thrown his way. Even though his fantasy managers will be disappointed by a failed attempt at a one-yard touchdown during the second half, Jacobs' critical role for the…read more

Scores three times
Jacobs carried the ball 25 times for 93 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1 against Carolina. He added four receptions for 46 yards.
Analysis: Jacobs found the end zone regularly, with all three of his scores coming from within 10 yards. Also encouraging was his involvement in the receiving game, as Jacobs failed to record four receptions in any contest during his rookie campaign. Jacobs is locked into a bellcow role for the Raiders and should be a key part of their offense in Week 2 against the Saints.

You just don't see them," Gruden told Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, speaking of Jacobs and right tackle Trent Brown (undisclosed).

"The head coach gets to make a decision or two and you'll see those guys soon enough. They're not out; they're working. You just don't see them."

Jacobs will face competition for pass-catching work from Jalen Richard and rookie Lynn Bowden, ESPN.com's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Ready for more receiving work?
General manager Mike Mayock said the Raiders expect Jacobs (shoulder) to increase his contributions in the passing game during his second pro season.
Analysis: Jacobs' skill as a receiver was one of his main selling points coming out of Alabama, but he was limited to 20 catches for 166 yards as a rookie, while Jalen Richard took most of the snaps on obvious passing downs en route to 36 receptions for 323 yards. Despite the promising comments from Mayock, it's worth noting that the Raiders gave Richard a two-year, $7 million contract in February. That doesn't mean Jacobs won't see more targets in 2020, but it suggests the team still plans for Richard…read more

Ruled out for season finale
Jacobs (shoulder/illness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Initially deemed doubtful, it's no surprise that Jacobs will sit out for the season finale. DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard will handle the backfield against the Broncos. Jacobs -- a rookie first-rounder out of Alabama -- had a fantastic season prior to fracturing his shoulder, and he'll end the season with 1,150 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while adding 20 catches for 166 yards. He should be able to make a full recovery for the 2020 season and resume duties as a bell cow.

Discomfort in leg addressed
The Raiders relayed Thursday that Jacobs "woke up with discomfort in his leg on Wednesday" and was subsequently "evaluated and treated for a superficial skin infection," Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The statement supports the notion that the procedure Jacobs underwent Wednesday won't impact his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos. That said, the running back was unable to play in Week 16 due to a lingering shoulder injury, and that's still something that could impact his availability this weekend.

The running back has been contending with a fractured right shoulder since the Raiders' Week 7 loss to the Packers and has missed two of the team's last three games because of it, but since bandages were spotted on his lower leg in the Instagram post, his procedure appears to be unrelated to the shoulder.

Analysis: Per Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle, the running back -- whose post included an image of his lower/leg foot wrapped in a bandage -- relayed that his procedure "went great." Jacobs missed the Raiders' Week 16 win over the Chargers due to a shoulder injury that he's been dealing with/managing since Oct. 20.

Analysis: Jacobs' participation to start Week 15 is a good sign, but coach Jon Gruden has yet to sign off on the running back returning to action Sunday against the Jaguars.

Lays egg against Jets
Jacobs rushed 10 times for 34 yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Jacobs and starting quarterback Derek Carr were both taken out of the game late in the third quarter with the Raiders trailing 34-3. The rookie running back still is locked in as Oakland's workhorse on the ground, but nothing went right for his team in this one. He'll have an opportunity to bounce back against the vulnerable Chiefs run defense Week 13, in a game the Raiders will need to win to keep pace in the AFC West.

Good to go against Jets
Jacobs (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Jacobs was listed as a limited practice participant this week as the Raiders continue to manage his reps. It's nothing that's hampered his workload in games of late, as evidenced by Week 11's 23-carry, 112-yard rushing effort against the 0-10 Bengals. Jacobs does, however, have a tougher matchup on tap Sunday, given that the 3-7 Jets are allowing a league-low average of 79.1 yards per game on the ground.

Still limited at practice
Jacobs (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: We'll check back on Jacobs' status Friday, but there's a pretty solid chance he'll approach Sunday's game against the Jets minus an injury designation, despite his ongoing listed practice limitations.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Jacobs (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs has been managing a shoulder issue of late, but despite his limitations at practice over the last two weeks, he approached both of the Raiders' last two outings minus an injury designation. Expect him to continue that trend this week in advance of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Contributes 124 scrimmage yards
Jacobs carried 23 times for 112 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Jacobs was quite effective on the ground, averaging 4.9 yards per carry while topping the 100-yard mark for the fifth time in the last seven games. He caught each of his three looks in the passing game but was unable to make a significant impact, though his 124 scrimmage yards were his third-highest mark of the season. Jacobs remains a focal point of the Oakland offense and will look to continue producing next Sunday against the Jets.

Cleared for Week 11 action
Jacobs (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's home game against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Jacobs was listed as a limited practice participant all week as he continues to manage a shoulder issue, but he'll be out there Sunday. Assuming he endures no in-game setbacks, Jacobs will profile as a high-end fantasy option at running back in Week 11 while facing off against a toothless Cincinnati defense. To date, the 0-9 Bengals have allowed a league-high 173.0 yards per game on the ground.

Another limited practice
Jacobs (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: We expect Jacobs to be a go Sunday against the Bengals, but he'll probably have to log a full practice Friday to approach the contest minus a Week 11 injury designation.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Jacobs (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs managed a shoulder issue leading up to last Thursday's 26-24 win over the Chargers before logging 30 of a possible 58 snaps on offense, en route to carrying 16 times for 71 yards and a TD and catching three passes for 30 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we'll presume for now that Jacobs' limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Over 100 total yards in win
Jacobs rushed 16 times for 71 yards and a touchdown and secured three of five targets for 30 yards in the Raiders' 26-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday.
Analysis: Jacobs had just logged a career-high 28 carries against the Lions four days prior and is nearing the "rookie wall" portion of his first season, so it would have hardly been surprising to see him scuffle for yardage Thursday. However, Jacobs was as effective as usual, and he clinched the narrow victory via an 18-yard touchdown scamper with 1:02 remaining. Jacobs has now has three rushing scores over the last two games, and his 30 receiving yards Thursday were also a career high. He'll look to…read more

Turns in full workout
Jacobs (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jacobs' unrestricted showing clears up any concern about his health heading into Thursday's game against the Chargers. The rookie should be in store for another sizable workload after earning no fewer than 17 touches in any of the Raiders' past five games.

Limited on practice estimate
Jacobs (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Raiders didn't hold a practice Monday, and Jacobs likely would've had a cap on his reps if they did. The rookie first-round pick has been dealing with this shoulder injury since Week 7's loss to the Packers, but he hasn't been held back, as he rushed a season-high 28 times for 120 yards and two scores in this past Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions. At this time, there's no reason to think he won't be ready for Thursday's matchup against the Chargers.

Scores twice in monster effort
Jacobs carried 28 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jacobs notched a new career high in rush attempts while coming four yards shy of his personal best in that category. He scored a two-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a three-yard score just before halftime, giving him three multi-touchdown games this season. He failed to haul in either of his two targets and continues to underwhelm as a receiver, but he's otherwise been a useful fantasy asset of late. Jacobs will look to keep it up Thursday in a Week 10 matchup against the Chargers.

Good to go in Week 9
Jacobs (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Jacobs was limited at practice all week as he managed a shoulder issue, but it's something he played through in Week 8's loss to the Texans, en route leading the Oakland backfield with 15 carries for 66 yards and two catches for 15 yards. He'll look to up his production Sunday against a Lions defense that is allowing an average of 130.7 rushing yards per game, which ranks 26th in the NFL.
