Jacobs rushed the ball nine times for 24 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs. He added five receptions on six targets for 46 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs began the game in inauspicious fashion by fumbling on his first carry. His day didn't get much better on the ground, as he was limited to fewer than 30 yards for the third time this season. On the other hand, Jacobs did manage to chip in as a receiver, highlighted by catches of 14 and 10 yards. Work as a pass catcher has been the key to his production of late, as he now has at least four receptions in five of his last six games.

Jacobs carried the ball 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and caught all nine of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
He tied Hunter Renfrow for the team lead in receptions, as Derek Carr didn't show a lot of trust in any of his other options through the air, and Jacobs' one-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter set the Raiders up to potentially tie the game at 14-14, but they weren't able to cash in a two-point conversion. The running back has reached 90 scrimmage yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 14 battle with Kansas City.

Jacobs (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs, who logged limited practices Thursday and Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable, will give it a go Sunday and should continue to lead the Raiders' backfield in Week 13, with Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber on hand to spell him. In Las Vegas' 36-33 overtime win over Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, Jacobs logged 57 of a possible 87 snaps on offense en route to carrying 22 times for 87 yards and a TD while catching two of his four targets for 25 yards.

Jacobs (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs logged limited practices Thursday and Friday before taking the designation into the weekend, but he looks like he's trending toward playing. Confirmation of his availability, either way, will arrive when the Raiders' inactive list is posted 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

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.
