Jacobs suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday's 43-6 blowout loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs had just seven carries for 27 yards and three catches for 17 yards versus the Falcons, as game script and the ankle injury he sustained mid-game minimized his involvement. He also lost a fumble near the Raiders' own end zone in the third quarter. Jacobs is slated to undergo more medical tests Monday, but Rapoport's note that the injury "looked worse than it is" suggests optimism that he could be good to go for Week 13's favorable road matchup against the Jets.

Jacobs (ankle) registered 27 rushing yards on seven carries while catching all three of his targets for 17 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-6 loss to Atlanta. He also lost one fumble.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs' fumble came at the 1:53 mark of the third quarter with Las Vegas backed up at its own 10-yard line. The giveaway allowed Atlanta to tack on another field goal to an already-dominant 30-6 lead. The second-year pro out of Alabama posted his second-lowest rushing total of the 2020 campaign during Sunday's loss, as the game script heavily restricted his involvement with the Raiders trailing by 13 going into halftime. It's hard to imagine Jacobs' usage fading for the same reason Week 13 with the Raiders traveling to MetLife Stadium to face the winless Jets. His ankle will be something to keep an eye on, however, as coach Jon Gruden noted the injury to be of concern postgame, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

Jacobs (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was added to the Raiders' Week 12 injury report Thursday when he logged a limited practice. Though he remained limited Friday, the running back now has the green light for Sunday's contest, as does reserve Jalen Richard (chest). Assuming no in-game setbacks, Jacobs will be in line for his usual lead role versus Atlanta, a context that has through 10 games resulted in him averaging a fantasy-friendly 19.9 carries for 75.5 yards per game -- to go along with nine TDs -- as well as 2.4 catches for 15.8 yards per contest.

Jacobs was added to the Raiders' Week 12 injury report after being listed as limited by a hip issue Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the report makes the running back's status worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Falcons approaches. Also limited Thursday was Jalen Richard (chest), leaving Devontae Booker as the team's top fully healthy option at the position heading into Friday's practice.

Jacobs rushed 17 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was held under 4.0 yards per carry by Kansas City's defense for the second time in as many meetings this year. Unlike their previous meeting back in Week 5, the bruising back saw fewer touches and one less score despite the Raiders playing ahead for the majority of the contest. Perhaps a more run-centric gameplan could have altered the disappointing outcome of the contest for the rising star and the rest of Raider Nation. Despite the inefficient output, Jacobs reached double-digit fantasy points in standard scoring formats for the fourth consecutive week. The 3-7 Falcons are on tap Sunday, but they have been playing better of late, and have been particularly stingy against the run this season (99.0 rushing yards allowed per game).

Jacobs registered 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, adding four catches for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-12 win against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs torched the Broncos for 5.3 yards per carry with assistance from five runs of nine yards or more, notching his third multi-TD outing of 2020 in the process. The 2019 No. 24 overall draft choice has garnered 15 or more offensive touches in every game but one this season. Las Vegas prepares for a rematch with Kansas City in Week 11; the first time the teams met this season, Jacobs compiled 85 scrimmage yards and two TDs against the Chiefs' 28th-ranked rush defense.

Jacobs carried the ball 14 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
After getting a season-high 31 totes last week in Cleveland, Jacobs saw a much smaller workload this time around -- perhaps due to the knee injury that limited him in practice during the week -- and ceded eight carries to Devontae Booker, but he was still able to score his sixth TD of the year on a 14-yard run in the second quarter. Jacobs should see something more like his typical volume of touches in Week 10 against a stingy Broncos run defense.

Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs is coming off a Week 8 effort in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the Raiders' 16-6 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. With Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium, weather won't factor into the game plan; nevertheless, barring any in-game setbacks, Jacobs still seems destined to remain fairly busy versus the Chargers, given that he's averaging 21 carries per game to date.

Jacobs (knee/illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After failing to practice Thursday, Jacobs returned to the field Friday in a limited capacity. Though he didn't finish the week as a full participant, the Raiders are apparently optimistic that Jacobs will be ready to handle his usual role as the team's lead back. Confirmation on Jacobs' status won't come until the Raiders release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. kickoff, but fantasy managers can tentatively plan on having him in their lineups.

Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Chargers after returning to a limited practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was held out of practice Thursday, but his return to the field Friday, albeit in a limited fashion, bodes well for his status for Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff. The Raiders' top back is coming off a week in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the team's Week 8 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. Assuming he's active versus the Chargers, weather won't impact Jacobs' Week 9 usage, with Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium.
