Jacobs (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

With Jacobs missing his second straight contest, the Raiders will once again turn to Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber to share the team's backfield duties Sunday. It's a time-share that resulted in Drake logging seven carries for nine yards and five catches for 46 yards (on 47 snaps) while Barber recorded 13 carries for 32 yards (on 19 snaps) in the Raiders' 26-17 victory over Pittsburgh in Week 2. While Barber figures to maintain an early down/short-yardage presence and looks like a TD-dependent fantasy play this week, Drake's ability to contribute as a pass catcher gives him a degree of PPR utility versus Miami.

Jacobs (ankle) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jacobs trending toward his second straight missed game, Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber once again are in line to share the Raiders' backfield duties this weekend. It's an arrangement that yielded Drake seven carries for nine yards and five catches for 46 yards (on 47 snaps) and Barber 13 carries for 32 yards (on 19 snaps) in the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Steelers.

Jacobs (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was also listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's session. With Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal having previously relayed that coach Jon Gruden considered the running back "very questionable" for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, it looks as though Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber are trending toward continuing to share the Raiders' backfield duties this weekend.

Jacobs (toe/ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, coach Jon Gruden previously referred to Jacobs as "very questionable" for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The running back's absence from practice Wednesday would seem to reinforce his cloudy Week 3 status. If Jacobs is sidelined once again this weekend, Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber will continue to handle the team's backfield duties versus Miami.

Coach Jon Gruden said Monday that Jacobs (toe/ankle) is day-to-day and "very questionable" to face the Dolphins in Week 3, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs wasn't able to suit up against the Steelers in Week 2, and it looks like he's no lock to return to full health in time to face Miami. Kenyan Drake was out-carried by Peyton Barber in Jacobs' absence Sunday, but neither running back managed much in the way of efficiency on the ground against Pittsburgh's stout defensive front.

Jacobs (toe/ankle) won't play in Week 2 against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs looked noticeably hobbled at times in Monday's win over the Ravens but still managed to rumble for two touchdowns. Rather than continue to gut it out, Jacobs will get a week off to heal in hopes of returning closer to full health before the Raiders host the Dolphins in Week 3. Kenyan Drake could be in line for a three-down role Sunday, with Peyton Barber spelling him on early downs and the possibility of a Trey Ragas sighting or two.

Jacobs (toe/ankle) wasn't spotted at the start of Friday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll circle back on Jacobs' status once his official Week 2 injury designation is revealed, but if he's out or limited Sunday against the Steelers, Kenyan Drake would be in line to see added opportunities in the Raiders' backfield, with Peyton Barber (and perhaps Trey Ragas) also in the mix.

Jacobs (toe/ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' absence from the Raiders' first Week 2 practice Wednesday wasn't a major surprise after he played 45 snaps two days earlier in the team's overtime win over the Ravens, but a second straight day of no practice participation suddenly raises more concern about his availability for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. The Raiders will see what Jacobs is able to do at Friday's practice before determining whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend. Kenyan Drake would be the next man up as the Raiders' top option on the ground if Jacobs ends up sitting Sunday.

Jacobs didn't practice Wednesday due to toe and ankle injuries, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' exclusion from practice isn't too surprising, with the Raiders having played Monday and the running back having previously suggested that he may have some maintenance days on certain Wednesdays. Still, Tafur notes that Jacobs is banged up at this stage of the week, making his status worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Steelers approaches. Wednesday's session was a walk-through, so what Jacobs is able to do Thursday should provide better hint about his Week 2 status.

Jacobs rushed 10 times for 34 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 33-27 overtime win against the Ravens. He also caught one of two targets for six yards.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs suited up after dealing with a toe injury and illness prior to Week 1. Although he looked a little banged up early, the tailback showed great perseverance to ultimately score twice. His first touchdown came on a two-yard plunge in the first half, then Jacobs tied the game with an impressive 15-yard end-zone trip in the fourth quarter. Despite teammate Kenyan Drake outgaining Jacobs with 70 yards on his 11 touches, neither runner could get much going on the ground against a swarming Ravens defense. Nonetheless, Jacobs provided the necessary scoring punch when required, starting his season on a strong note.
