Jacobs (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After the session, Jacobs relayed to Gutierrez, "I feel good. I did everything today. I feel good to go." Jacobs missed practice earlier this week due to a toe issue, but since the Raiders have been required to post injury reports he's been an active participant in drills, albeit with a cap on his reps. He noted Friday that he may see maintenance days moving forward, but the current concern doesn't appear as if it'll impact his availability for game action.

Jacobs was limited at practice Thursday due to a toe issue.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' presence on the field Thursday after previously missing practice bodes well for his chances of suiting up Monday night against the Ravens. He'll have two more chances to elevate his participation level in advance of the contest. Assuming he's cleared to play Week 1, Jacobs is poised to head the Raiders backfield, with Kenyan Drake on hand to work in a complementary role and Peyton Barber available in a reserve capacity.

Jacobs was absent from his second straight practice Tuesday for an unspecified reason and isn't expected to return to the field until Thursday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raiders haven't revealed whether Jacobs' absence is related to an injury, an illness or a personal matter, and an explanation likely won't be provided until Thursday, when the team will release its first Week 1 practice report. Regardless, assuming Jacobs makes it back to practice Thursday as expected, he would be in position to lead the Las Vegas backfield in Monday's season opener versus the Ravens. Jacobs' absence from workouts to begin the week will at least have the side benefit of allowing the Raiders to feed more reps to newly signed back Peyton Barber, who is projected to serve as the No. 3 option behind Jacobs and big free-agent signee Kenyan Drake.

Jacobs will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs is established in the Raiders' offense so the team won't take any chances of him suffering in an injury. Joining him on the sidelines from the backfield is Kenyan Drake and Jalen Richard (foot). That will leave a heavy workload for BJ Emmons and Trey Ragas.

The Raiders might view Jacobs and Kenyan Drake similarly to coach Jon Gruden's Tyrone Wheatley and Charlie Garner backfields, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

While Jacobs might match the Wheatley aesthetic more than the speedy, pass-catching skill set of Garner, Jacobs is still the heavy favorite to remain the clear leader between himself and Drake. Drake, meanwhile, is expected to play an off-the-bench role with a pass-catching emphasis. Particularly if the Raiders cut or bench Jalen Richard, there could be room for Jacobs and Drake to coexist.

The Raiders' offseason addition of Kenyan Drake could impact Jacobs' playing time, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs will still be the starter and lead ballcarrier, but Drake's two-year, $11 million contract hints at a larger role than what Devontae Booker handled last season as the No. 2 option out of the backfield. Booker, now with the Giants, averaged 5.1 carries and 1.3 targets in the 15 games both he and Jacobs played. Drake could get more work without negatively impacting Jacobs, but only if the Raiders improve their overall efficiency on offense, particularly in the running game. Jacobs averaged 3.9 yards per carry last season, ranking third in the league in carries (273) but only eighth in rushing yards (1,065). He was one of four players -- along with Derrick Henry, Dalvin Cook and Joe Mixon -- to average more than 18 carries per game.

Jacobs won't be charged with a DUI following a Jan. 4 arrest related to a single vehicle collision in Las Vegas, Nev., Glenn Puit of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' legal woes aren't over, though, as he faces a misdemeanor count of failure to decrease speed or use due care under certain circumstances. Once the legal process works itself out -- he has a March court date on the docket -- the NFL could levy a punishment if he was deemed to violate the personal conduct policy. On the field this past season, Jacobs accounted for 1,303 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 273 carries and 33 catches (45 targets) in 15 games.

Jacobs was arrested Monday on a DUI charge relating to a single vehicle collision, Kevin Bolinger of FOX 5 Vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated after the vehicular collision, per Bolinger. The second-year pro has since been released from both custody and the hospital, and he's been assigned with a March court appearance date. Based on the NFL's precedent of assigning punishments for DUI arrests, it's possible that Jacobs could face a short suspension during the 2021 season. He had 273 carries for 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns through 15 games in 2020, while also securing 33 of 45 targets for 238 yards.

Jacobs carried the ball 15 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-31 win over the Broncos. He failed to catch his only target.

EDGE Analysis

After gashing Denver for two TDs in their first meeting in Week 10, Jacobs repeated the feat in the season finale. The second-year back finished the campaign with 1,065 rushing yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns, but he dealt with nagging injuries once again and has yet to play a full 16-game schedule. Jacobs will head into 2021 at the top of the Raiders backfield depth chart.

Jacobs totaled 69 yards on 13 carries during Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs took an IV Saturday, as he was not feeling well going into the game, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. Jacobs had an opportunity to punch in a game-winning touchdown with two overtime carries inside the five-yard line during a Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Again against Miami, the 22-year-old came up short in a pair of short-yardage situations. A Jacobs first-quarter goal-line carry landed Las Vegas a yard short of a touchdown before Derek Carr scored on a QB sneak the following play. Meanwhile, a 4th-and-1 plunge from Las Vegas' own 47 with 8:36 to go in the third quarter lost one yard. Even so, Jacobs' opportunities remain ample as the powerful back has garnered 13-plus carries in seven of his past eight outings heading into a Week 17 road trip to Denver.
