Jacobs (knee) could miss games at the start of the 2022 season, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs played well in 2021 across the nine starts the undrafted rookie made in place of Jeff Okudah (Achilles). However, he suffered a torn ACL in December and it seems like he is expected to miss the entirety of the offseason training program plus training camp.

Jacobs (knee) was placed on IR on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs announced on Monday via his personal twitter account that he suffered an ACL injury in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. Whether or not Jacobs will need surgery or the severity of the injury is still not known, but based on the tone of Jacobs' tweet and the move to IR, it seems like an ACL tear is a likely scenario.

Jacobs announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he suffered an ACL injury to his knee in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
The Lions haven't elaborated on the extent of Jacobs' knee issue, but the fact that he termed his injury as "a minor setback for a major comeback" suggests he suffered a season-ending ACL tear. If that's the case, Jacobs will likely be sent in for surgery in the coming days. The undrafted rookie had emerged as a key piece in the Detroit secondary, logging 34 tackles, seven pass breakups and a forced fumble across 13 games.

Jacobs (groin) was listed as a full participant for the Lions' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs suffered a groin injury during the Lions' tie to the Steelers in Week 10. After practicing fully Wednesday, the cornerback should be able to play Sunday barring any setbacks. Expect Mark Gilbert or AJ Parker to see extended snaps against the Browns in Week 11 if Jacobs can't suit up.
