Jacobs rushed 26 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 38 yards in the Raiders' 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs not only came into the critical divisional clash for the Raiders dealing with a nagging ankle issue, but he exited the game late in the fourth quarter to have his knee tended to. However, the second-year workhorse quickly returned on the fourth play of Las Vegas' overtime-opening possession and logging six touches on a drive that culminated in a Daniel Carlson field goal. Jacobs' game-tying one-yard scoring leap in the third quarter served as his 10th touchdown of the season, while his yardage tally Thursday was his highest since Week 10 against the Broncos. He'll look to continue producing in a Week 16 battle versus the Dolphins on Saturday night, Dec. 26.

Jacobs (knee) has returned to Thursday's game against the Chargers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs barely spent any time on the sideline, as he retook the field in the middle of Las Vegas' first drive of overtime. With the Raiders still fighting for a tentative playoff spot and in a must-win scenario, and Derek Carr (groin) already out, Jacobs' return to the field will no doubt be invaluable.

Jacobs (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob left late in the fourth quarter, and he isn't on the field to begin overtime. The second-year pro was questionable for Thursday's tilt with an ankle issue, but he's now dealing with a knee injury. Devontae Booker stands to start out of the backfield if Jacobs can't return.

Jacobs (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs approached Week 14 action listed as questionable, but he suited up and recorded 29 (of a possible 68) snaps on offense in the Raiders' loss to the Colts, carrying 13 times for 49 yards and catching three of his five targets for 25 yards in the process. Though listed as a limited practice participant this week, Jacobs has been cleared to play Thursday and will once again head the Raiders backfield against a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of 120.0 rushing yards per game to date.

Jacobs (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
For a second consecutive day, the Raiders listed Jacobs as limited, only this time they held him out of practice. The team seems to be managing his reps with a short turnaround between games, but Wednesday's injury report may still leave the running back as a question mark for Thursday's game versus the Chargers. While Jacobs played through his ankle issue this past Sunday against the Colts, he logged a season-low share of the offensive snaps (43 percent) en route to 16 touches for 74 yards from scrimmage and no TDs.

Jacobs (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.
EDGE Analysis
It's not a surprise to see Jacobs' name on the Raiders' initial Week 15 injury/practice report. The running back headed into Week 14 action listed as questionable, but he was able to suit up and log 29 (of a possible 68) snaps on offense in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts. In the process, Jacobs carried 13 times for 49 yards and caught three of his five targets for 25 yards. Fantasy managers can't take anything for granted with Jacobs these days, but we suspect that he'll be available for this coming Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Jacobs (ankle) carried 13 times for 49 yards and caught three of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs, who came into the game nursing a nagging injury, managed just 3.8 yards per carry against a tough Indianapolis front. His rushing attempts were limited by a lopsided score, and he failed to make a notable impact in the passing game despite receiving his most targets since Week 1. Assuming Jacobs didn't aggravate the injury, he'll look to get back on track Thursday against an inconsistent Chargers defensive unit.

Jacobs (ankle) started at running back for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Colts, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A pre-game Instagram post by the running back suggesting that he wasn't playing Sunday caused a stir in the fantasy community, but once Jacobs began participating in warmups, it became apparent that he'd been joking and was in line to play, as had been previously implied by his active status for the contest.

Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Jacobs (ankle) is going through pre-game warmups in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Schefter previously relayed that Jacobs indicated on Instagram that he wasn't playing Sunday despite being listed as active, but now Schefter suggests that Jacobs "appears to have been joking with the fantasy community." If that assessment changes, we'll update the situation.

Jacobs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was considered questionable after practicing as a limited participant Thursday and Friday, but he's all set to play Week 14. The 22-year-old had only seven carries for 27 yards and three catches for 17 yards Week 12 and sat out last week's loss to the Falcons with the ankle injury. He gets a tough draw Sunday against a Colts run defense that's allowing 3.8 yards per carry.
