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.

Interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said Jacobs sustained a chest contusion in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles, but the running back is expected to be fine for the Raiders' next game Nov. 7 against the Giants, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though the injury knocked him out of the Raiders' Week 7 game early, Jacobs likely would have stood a good chance at playing next weekend, if Las Vegas had a game. Instead, Jacobs will benefit from an extra week of rest with the Raiders on bye Week 8, which should put him in strong position to practice fully in advance of the matchup with the Giants. Jacobs at least rewarded fantasy managers with a touchdown before his early departure against the Eagles while also chipping in 68 yards from scrimmage on nine touches (six carries, three catches).

Jacobs (chest) likely avoided a serious injury in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders have a well-timed Week 8 bye, which will give the banged-up Jacobs extra time to heal up after he exited Sunday's 33-22 win early. Jacobs battled toe and ankle injuries early in the season, but he has gotten on a roll lately and extended his touchdown streak to three games prior to hurting his chest against Philly.

Jacobs exited Sunday's game against the Eagles with a chest injury.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to departing the contest, Jacobs logged six carries for 29 yards and a TD and caught three passes for 39 yards. With Peyton Barber inactive Sunday, Kenyan Drake is next up for the Raiders' carries, with Jalen Richard on hand for change-of-pace looks.

Jacobs ran for 53 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries while catching his only target for 29 yards against Denver on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was somewhat plodding in the ground game with just 3.3 yards per carry, but he provided a steadying presence for the Raiders as they protected a lead for most of the game. The 29-yard reception is hopefully a good omen for Jacobs' rushing efficiency in upcoming games, because he has generally struggled from scrimmage through four games (3.2 yards per carry, 5.5 yards per target). Jacobs' investors will hope he can maintain his touchdown production going forward, though hopefully with more yardage to show. He gets the Eagles in Week 7.

Jacobs (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos after returning to a limited practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs missed Thursday's practice session, but the running back's limited participation Friday and subsequent final listing on the Raiders' Week 6 injury report sets the stage for him to head the team's rushing attack this weekend against a stout Denver defense that has allowed an average of 85.4 rushing yards to date. Meanwhile, Peyton Barber (toe) is available to spell Jacobs in early down situations Sunday, while Kenyan Drake and possibly Jalen Richard are slated to work in change-of-pace roles versus the Broncos.

Jacobs (illness) made an appearance at Friday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Initially, Jacobs wasn't present at the start of the media portion of the session, per Reed, but the running back appears as if he'll get into some drills. Jacobs showed up on Thursday's practice report as a non-participant due to an illness, so it'll be interesting to see how he's listed Friday, both in terms of activity level and for Sunday's game at Denver.
