Jacobs is set to undergo tests after injuring a pinkie finger in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The running back underwent some initial X-rays during the game, which returned negative. Jacobs was able to return to action after popping his finger back into place, finishing the night with 27 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 15 yards. Jacobs has some added healing time ahead of the team's Dec. 18 contest against the Patriots in Week 15.

Jacobs rushed 27 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while securing both targets for 15 yards in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs opened the game in trademark fashion with a one-yard touchdown run to cap off a 12-play, 75-yard march on the Raiders' first possession. However, yards were much more at a premium throughout the rest of the game, and Jacobs also missed some time tending to a hand injury early in the second half that seemed to continue to affect him whenever he attempted to stiff-arm defenders. The star back, who saw his streak of 100-yard games narrowly stopped at three, will now get some much-needed extra rest before a Week 15 home showdown versus the Patriots.

Jacobs (hand) returned to Thursday's game against the Rams, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was spotted in the locker getting X-rays after suffering the injury, but he ultimately missed one only series. He was seen shaking his hand due to apparent discomfort shortly after retaking the field but did not exit the game and has continued to serve as the Raiders' lead back.

Jacobs is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams due to a hand injury.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs ripped off a 15-yard run early in the third quarter but landed hard on his arm and jammed his hand in the turf. He was seen on the sideline having his hand taped and was later spotted heading into the locker room to get X-rays. Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah figure to fill in while Jacobs remains sidelined.

Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Rams, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders' top RB approached the contest listed as questionable, as was the case prior to the team's past two games, but he'll once again give it a go and should continue to handle to bulk of Las Vegas' backfield touches Thursday in the absence of any in-game setbacks, with Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White, Brandon Bolden and Brittain Brown on hand in reserve. Over his last two games, Jacobs (who leads the NFL with 1,303 rushing yards through 12 outings) racked up a fantasy-friendly total of 59 carries for 373 yards and three TDs, to go along with eight catches for 80 yards in that span.

Jacobs (quadriceps/calf), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
While taking questionable designations into both of the Raiders' past two games, Jacobs has not only avoided the inactive list, but he's come through with two of his best performances of the season while taking on massive workloads. In wins over the Seahawks and Chargers, Jacobs has carried 59 times for 373 yards (6.3 average) to go with eight receptions for 80 yards while finding the end zone three times. Though he's still bothered by the pair of injuries, Jacobs looks on track to be cleared once again when the Raiders release their inactive list 90 minutes before the team's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Given that the Raiders are sizable favorites against the undermanned Rams and are playing on a short week, head coach Josh McDaniels could look to lighten Jacobs' snap count a bit to ensure he's healthy heading into the final four games of the regular season.

Jacobs (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs seems likely to play, considering he was listed as questionable last week and ultimately took 26 carries for 144 yards in a win over the Chargers on Sunday. A short week isn't ideal, but the Raiders did list him as a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday. Inactives will be released around 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, with Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah most the best bets to pick up RB snaps/touches for the Raiders if Jacobs is held out.

Jacobs (quadriceps) was again listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice-report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders again held a walk-through in favor of an actual practice, so his limited participation is just an estimate. Given Jacobs' heavy workload over the past four games and the short week ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams, it is not surprising that Las Vegas is opting to err on the side of caution here. While there is no real worry at this point to think his Week 14 status is in any danger, it will be worth monitoring his status on the team's final injury report Wednesday.

Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) was a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders didn't practice Monday, so the report was merely an estimate. Jacobs has totaled 108 touches over his past four games, so his appearance on the injury report can likely be attributed to rest. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against the Rams, but at this point, there doesn't appear to be any indication that Jacobs is in danger of missing Week 14.

Jacobs carried the ball 26 times for 144 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers. He also caught both his targets for six yards.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight week, Jacobs came into the game with a calf injury that made it uncertain if he would even play, and for the second week he looked unbothered by the issue as he shredded a run defense that seemed helpless to stop him. Jacobs has posted three straight 100-yard performances and six in his last nine games, a surge that has moved him into the lead for the NFL rushing crown with 1,303 yards on the season. He could be listed as questionable again due to a quick turnaround before Thursday's game against the Rams, but Jacobs' current form will make him extremely hard to fade.
