Jacobs carried the ball 13 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Titans. He added five receptions for 31 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs appeared doubtful for this contest after he didn't make the original trip with the team. However, he was active for the game and dominated opportunities out of the Las Vegas backfield. He was efficient with his opportunity on the ground and also tied for second on the team with five receptions. The only thing missing was a trip to the end zone, though he got no work near the goal line. His production hasn't been spectacular to begin the season, but Jacobs has topped 70 total yards in each of his three games.

Jacobs (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs, who missed practice Thursday and Friday, didn't initially travel with the team, but he subsequently made his way to Nashville in advance of the contest. After testing things out in warmups, the Raiders' top back will give it a go Sunday. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited at all in the contest, but when he needs a breather versus Tennessee, Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White are on hand to absorb complementary snaps behind Jacobs, who has logged 29 carries for 126 yards and two catches for 28 yards through his first two games this season.

Jacobs (illness, questionable) is on track to play Sunday against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Official confirmation of Jacobs' Week 3 status will arrive upon the release of the Raiders' inactives ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but it looks like they'll have their top back -- who missed practice Thursday and Friday -- available for Week 3 action. Through his first two contests, Jacobs has recorded 29 carries for 126 yards and two catches for 28 yards.

Jacobs (illness, questionable) is in line to work out during pregame warmups to determine his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Schefter, there is optimism that Jacobs -- who flew separately from the team to Tennessee ahead of the contest -- will be able to suit up, but a call on his Week 3 status won't be made until warmups in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. If Jacobs ends up out or limited, Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White would be candidates to log added backfield work versus Tennessee.

Jacobs (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, will travel to Tennessee on Saturday, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs didn't travel with the team Friday, but Hill relays that the running back subsequently headed to Nashville on Saturday ahead of the Raiders' Week 3 contest. Fantasy managers will still need to check in regarding Jacobs' status before the 1:00 PM ET kickoff, especially considering the 24-year-old did not participate in back-to-back practices Thursday and Friday.

Jacobs (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs capped Week 3 prep with back-to-back absences, the result of an illness. Gutierrez also reported that Jacobs won't travel with the Raiders to Nashville on Friday, meaning the running back's status truly is up in the air. If Jacobs is unable to make the trip to Tennessee or shows up and eventually is limited or out Sunday, Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White are on hand to take on whatever Jacobs is unable to.

Jacobs (illness) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Through two games, Jacobs has produced modest results, averaging 4.3 YPC on 29 rushes and gathering in both targets for 28 yards with no touchdowns. An illness didn't allow him to practice Thursday and appears to be doing the same to wrap up Week 3 prep. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Jacobs enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Jacobs didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the injury report Thursday is notable. Look for added context regarding the running back's Week 3 status to arrive no later than Friday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. If Jacobs is out or limited this weekend, Brandon Bolden (hamstring, limited Thursday), Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White are candidates to log added backfield work versus Tennessee.

Jacobs ran for 69 yard on 19 carries against Arizona on Sunday, adding a 12-yard catch on one target.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs' workload was reassuring in this game, as Zamir White saw just one carry and Ameer Abdullah logged just one target. Unfortunately for Jacobs' fantasy investors, his next matchup is a road game against the Titans, a defense that could prove to be a more challenging matchup than the Cardinals were.

Jacobs ran for 57 yards on 10 carries and caught his only target for 16 yards against the Chargers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders never gained scoreboard leverage over the Chargers in this game and as a result maintained a catch-up mentality for almost the entire contest. Jacobs' rushing usage suffered as a result, even with his solid efficiency on the ground. The Raiders lost with this approach, so new coach Josh McDaniels might have reason to involve Jacobs earlier in a Week 2 matchup against Arizona.
