Jacobs (toe/ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' absence from the Raiders' first Week 2 practice Wednesday wasn't a major surprise after he played 45 snaps two days earlier in the team's overtime win over the Ravens, but a second straight day of no practice participation suddenly raises more concern about his availability for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. The Raiders will see what Jacobs is able to do at Friday's practice before determining whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend. Kenyan Drake would be the next man up as the Raiders' top option on the ground if Jacobs ends up sitting Sunday.
