Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, Jacobs' availability will be worth monitoring as Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, though it's possible media reports emerge prior to the first wave of games this weekend that offer more clarity on the running back's status. If Jacobs ends up limited or sits out versus Washington, Kenyan Drake and Jalen Richard would be next up for snaps out of the Las Vegas backfield, with Peyton Barber a candidate to be made active after having been a healthy scratch Week 12 against the Cowboys.

Jacobs was added to the Raiders' Week 13 injury report after logging a limited practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday, so it's possible he tweaked his ankle during Thursday's session. As a result, his status is worth tracking, but if he's able to get in a good practice Friday, he could avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Washington. Next up for the Raiders' carries this weekend if Jacobs is out or limited are Kenyan Drake and Jalen Richard, with Peyton Barber a candidate to suit up after being a healthy scratch in Week 12.

Jacobs carried the ball 22 times for 87 yards and a touchdown and caught two of four targets for 25 yards in a 36-33 overtime win over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
EDGE Analysis
Interim coach Rich Bisaccia said coming into the game he wanted to re-emphasize the Raiders' running game, and he followed through by giving Jacobs his biggest touch volume of the season. The second-year back took advantage, topping 100 scrimmage yards for the first time all year and finding the end zone for the first time since Week 7. Jacobs will look to built on this performance in Week 13 against Washington.

Jacobs carried the ball nine times for 37 yards and caught five of seven targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
While he saw his usual touch volume and hauled in at least three passes for the sixth time in the last seven games, Jacobs didn't produce much in the way of yardage and failed to get into the end zone for the third straight contest -- and perhaps not coincidentally, the Raiders have lost all three. He'll look to snap that scoring drought in a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Cowboys.

Jacobs (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing in a limited fashion this past week.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs, who rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught all five targets for 20 more yards in this past Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs, is thus in line to head the Raiders' Week 11 backfield, with Kenyan Drake on hand to work in a complementary role and Jalen Richard a candidate to handle some change-of-pace snaps if he's able to play through a rib injury that has him listed as questionable. To date, Jacobs has averaged 42.3 rushing yards, 21.3 receiving yards and tallied five TDs through seven games, numbers that put him on the fantasy lineup radar in most formats.

Jacobs (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's injury report will reveal whether Jacobs approaches Sunday's game against the Bengals with a Week 11 injury designation, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that the Raiders' top back -- who has averaged 42.3 rushing yards, 21.3 receiving yards and scored five TDs through seven games to date -- will be sidelined this weekend.

Jacobs (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was on the field for 31 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's loss to Kansas City en route to recording seven carries for 16 yards and five catches for 20 yards. At this point there's nothing to suggest that his availability for this weekend's game against the Bengals is in peril, but a return to a full practice session by Friday on the part of Jacobs would cement his Week 11 status.

Jacobs rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught all five targets for 20 more yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rough night for Jacobs, who struggled to get anything going on the ground while the game was still within reach, only to get phased out in the second half due to an unfavorable game script. The bruising back also lost his lead blocker early when Alec Ingold left the game with an apparent knee injury that is now feared to be a torn ACL, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. With their fullback gone, the Raiders ran more plays out of the gun, which hurt Jacobs' downhill running style. The good news for Las Vegas' starting back is that the Bengals are on tap for Week 11. Cincinnati's defense has surrendered 20.6 fantasy points per game to opposing backs.

Jacobs recorded 13 rushes for 76 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants. He added four receptions for 19 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs continued to dominate work out of the Raiders backfield, accounting for 13 of the team's 17 rushing attempts recorded by running backs. He also managed his highest rushing yardage total of the season by logging five rushes that went for 10 or more yards. While Kenyan Drake dominated receiving work at the position, Jacobs has also now recorded multiple receptions in four of his last five games. Jacobs will draw a favorable matchup against the Chiefs in Week 10, though game script could dictate more work for Drake.

Jacobs, who sustained a chest contusion in the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Eagles, is not listed on the team's Week 9 injury report.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders were on bye last week and the time off evidently allowed Jacobs to recover from his chest issue. As a result, he's in line to retain his lead RB role Sunday against the Giants. In five games thus far this season, Jacobs has logged 60 carries for 204 yards and five TDs while adding 14 catches (on 16 targets) for 110 yards.
