Jacobs rushed the ball nine times for -2 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills. He added five receptions on six targets for 51 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was scripted out of the game early on from a rushing perspective, though he wasn't at all effective with the ball in his hands as six of his nine rushes went for zero or negative yards. He found more success as a pass catcher, an area of the game he has proven capable of consistently contributing to across the last two seasons. Even with his work as a pass catcher covering up his deficiencies on the ground, Jacobs' struggles through two games have to be noted as he's managed only 46 yards on 28 carries.

Jacobs carried the ball 19 times for 48 yards and no touchdowns while catching two of his three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs ran into the brick wall that was Denver's defensive front Sunday. On a positive note, the star back dominated the rushing touches, with only one other back (Zamir White) receiving a carry. Despite the poor production to kick off the season, fantasy managers can feel good about Jacobs' usage heading into next week's matchup against the Bills.

Jacobs believes he's ready to take on a full workload Week 1 against the Broncos on Sunday but acknowledged that whether he gets the chance to do so will be up to the coaching staff, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs held out for most of the offseason in hopes of a long-term deal before ultimately rejoining the Raiders in late August on a one-year pact. The NFL's 2022 rushing leader believes missing training camp and preseason has left him fresh to hit the ground running, but the Raiders may not think he's fully up to speed yet and thus could give Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah or Brandon Bolden more opportunities at Jacobs' expense in the season opener. Jacobs added that a personal goal for him in 2023 is to score a receiving touchdown, as none of his 160 career catches up to this point have wound up in the end zone.

Jacobs practiced Wednesday for the first time since last season, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs and the Raiders reached an agreement over the weekend to pay the running back about $1.7 million more than he would've made under the franchise tag. He says he's happy with the arrangement and doesn't harbor any hard feelings toward GM Dave Ziegler or the Raiders organization. The shaky depth behind him combined with last year's huge numbers suggest Jacobs is headed for another busy season, starting with a Week 1 trip to Denver for a 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday kickoff.

Jacobs and the Raiders have agreed to terms on an upgraded one-year contract worth up to $12 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Pelissero, the base value of Jacobs' new deal is $11.8 million, up from from the $10.091 million franchise tag the running back hadn't yet signed. Given the timing of the agreement, Jacobs should have ample time to prepare for the Raiders' season opener against the Broncos, a game in which the 2019 first-rounder is in line to reprise his role as the team's lead back, with Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden in reserve.

The Raiders haven't shown any interest in trading Jacobs, who has yet to sign his $10.091 million franchise tag with the team,Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Pelissero, at this stage there's nothing imminent in terms of getting the star running back on to the field, and until there's added clarity on that front, Jacobs' Week 1 status remains to be determined. That said, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal previously reported that Jacobs is expected to report to the Raiders before the team's season opener, but coach Josh McDaniels did acknowledge earlier this week that the closer things linger leading up to Week 1 without Jacobs reporting, the more the 2019 first-rounder's early-season production could potentially be affected. In the event that Jacobs isn't available or is eased into action out of the gate, Zamir White would be in line see added work out of Las Vegas' backfield.

Jacobs is expected to report to the Raiders before their season opener in three weeks, multiple league sources told Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Raiders coach Josh McDaniels when asked Sunday did not have an update on the situation.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs did not report to training camp, and there have been almost no reports on his status or any contract talks. Because he hasn't yet signed his franchise tag, the team hasn't been able to fine him for practice absences. That gives Jacobs, who led the league in rushing and yards from scrimmage last season, leverage to hold out until Week 1 before he starts facing significant financial penalties. Based on Bonsignore's report, Jacobs intends to end his holdout just before the regular season begins. In that scenario, it's not clear if he'll be in shape and ready to play right away, however. If Jacobs faces any limitations to begin the 2023 campaign, Zamir White would likely see increased work out of the backfield.

Jacobs will not report to training camp for the Raiders and was spotted on a flight out of Las Vegas on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs, who has yet to sign his franchise tender, intends to hold out of training camp beginning Tuesday. He and the Raiders failed to reach an agreement on a long-term contract by last Monday's deadline, and because he hasn't yet signed his franchise tag, the team will not be able to fine him for practice absences. That gives Jacobs, who led the league in rushing and yards from scrimmage last season, leverage to hold out until Week 1 before he starts facing significant financial penalties. To call the 2019 first-round pick integral to Las Vegas' offense would be an understatement, and the team will need to divvy first-team reps between Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden until he returns to the practice field.

Jacobs and the Raiders failed to reach agreement on a multi-year contract prior to the deadline Monday at 4:00 p.m. ET, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs is joined by Giants RB Saquon Barkley and Cowboys RB Tony Pollard, neither of whom signed a contract before the Monday deadline for franchise-tagged players. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jacobs is not expected to report for the start of training camp with the rest of his teammates. The Raiders can't fine him for that unless he signs the franchise tag, which means Jacobs has until Week 1 to report before he starts missing out on large payments (his game checks for a $10.1 million franchise tag). The 25-year-old led the NFL in rushing and yards from scrimmage last season, setting career highs in a slew of categories in his fourth straight year as the Raiders' lead runner. The team doesn't have great options behind Jacobs, as their only other two RBs with even 50 career NFL carries are both veterans who mostly play on passing downs and special teams (Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden). Zamir White, a 2022 fourth-round pick, might be the next man up for carries between the tackles.

Jacobs hasn't signed his franchise tender and is ineligible for mandatory minicamp, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels didn't appear to be too concerned with the situation, saying he respects the process and is looking forward to seeing Jacobs in July when the deadline to sign the franchise tag expires. After back-to-back mediocre seasons, the 2019 first-round pick had a resurgent 2022 campaign, totaling career highs in rushing attempts (340), rushing yards (1,653) and receiving yards (400).
