Jacobs (quadricep) was present for practice Friday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs didn't practice Thursday, but his looming participation in Friday's session bodes well for his chances of suiting up Monday against the Chiefs. The Raiders' second injury report of the week will be released later Friday and will shed light on the extent of Jacobs' practice participation.

Jacobs (quadricep) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Per Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, interim head coach Antonio Pierce previously expressed optimism that Jacobs could return to action Monday against the Chiefs, noting that he thought the running back was close to playing in the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers in Week 15. Still, with Jacobs not practicing Thursday, his status will need to be closely monitored as the week progresses. If Jacobs remains sidelined for a second straight game, second-year player Zamir White would likely serve as the Raiders' top option on the ground.

Jacobs (quadriceps) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs officially was listed as questionable for the contest after being estimated as a non-participant in each of the Raiders' walkthroughs Monday through Wednesday, and on a short week, he'll sit this one out and target a potential return to action Monday, Dec. 25 against the Chiefs. In Jacobs' absence Thursday, look for 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White to lead the Raiders' Week 15 backfield, with Ameer Abdullah also in the mix for added touches, particularly in passing situations.

Jacobs (quad) isn't expected to play Thursday night against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs approached the contest listed as questionable after being estimated as a non-participant in each of the Raiders' walkthroughs Monday through Wednesday, but it appears as though he will be sidelined versus Los Angeles. Official confirmation of his Week 15 status will arrive once inactives are posted ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming Jacobs is deemed unavailable, Zamir White would be in line to start in his place, with Ameer Abdullah also in the mix.

Jacobs (quadricep) remains listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chargers, but his status for the contest is considered "very much in doubt," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs is taking a designation into the contest after he was listed as a non-participant on all three of the Raiders' Week 15 practice reports, though the team merely held a walk-through sessions due to the quick turnaround from Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings. Late in that game, Jacobs appeared to sustain the quad injury, and he ultimately didn't check back into the contest after the Raiders initially deemed him questionable to return. Rapoport suggests that Jacobs won't be cleared to suit up Thursday if the Raiders believe he's at risk of making his injury worse by playing, so a decision on his status may hinge on how he looks during a pregame warmup. Official word on Jacobs' availability (or lack thereof) should arrive when the Raiders release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Jacobs is forced to miss his first game of the season, the Raiders would likely lean heavily on a combination of Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah out of the backfield.

Jacobs (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders conducted walk-throughs Monday through Wednesday, with Jacobs estimated as a non-participant in each case. That said, if the running back ends up being available to face Los Angeles, coach Antonio Pierce noted earlier Wednesday that "if Josh Jacobs is ready to go, this is the Josh Jacobs Show," Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. Ideally, added context with regard to Jacobs' Week 15 status will arrive prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's limited or out, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah would be next in line for added backfield touches.

Jacobs (quadricep) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through session.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders conducted walk-through sessions Monday and Tuesday to begin Week 15 prep, but Jacobs would have had his reps managed had the team held traditional practices. Jacobs exited this past Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings in the fourth quarter with what was at the time deemed a knee injury and finished the day with 13 carries for 34 yards and two receptions for 16 yards.

Jacobs (quadricep) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders conducted walk-through sessions Monday and Tuesday to begin Week 15 prep, but Jacobs would have had his reps managed had the team held traditional practices due to a quad issue. Las Vegas will release its final injury report Wednesday, and if Jacobs is once again a limited participant, he could end up taking a questionable designation into Thursday's game against the Chargers. Jacobs exited this past Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings in the fourth quarter with what was at the time deemed a knee injury and finished the day with 13 carries for 34 yards and two receptions for 16 yards.

Jacobs was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a quad issue.
EDGE Analysis
When Jacobs exited Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings, his departure was attributed to a knee injury. In any case, the running back's listed quad concern makes his status worth tracking closely as Thursday night's game against the Chargers approaches. If Jacobs is unavailable for the contest or limited at all, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah would be next in line for added backfield touches for the Raiders in Week 15.

Jacobs sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was spotted being evaluated by Raiders trainers in the fourth quarter and then attempted to walk it off while limping and grabbing at his leg before the Raiders made the announcement that he was questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, he'll finish Week 14 with 13 carries for 34 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 16 yards. Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White and Brandon Bolden currently are the healthy running backs on Las Vegas' active roster.
