Jacobs (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs returned to a limited session Friday and he'll give it a go Sunday. Assuming no in-game issues, he's poised to continue to head the Raiders' backfield versus New England. Through his team's first two games, Jacobs has logged 52 carries for 181 yards and three TDs, while adding seven catches on nine targets for 63 yards.

Jacobs (hip) is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old missed the first two practices of the week but practiced as a limited participant Friday to earn the questionable tag, and he's apparently continued to progress in his recovery from the hip issue. Jacobs has 52 carries and seven receptions for 244 scrimmage yards through two games, and barring a setback he appears poised for another big workload Sunday.

Jacobs (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs returned to a limited session Friday. The same applies to star tight end Darren Waller (knee). We'll have to see if the team was simply exercising caution with two key playmakers, or if their Week 3 status is actually in any danger. Fortunately, the Raiders kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, so the duo's availability will be clarified in advance of the first wave of NFL kickoffs.

jacobs (hip) returned to practice Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs missed the Raiders' first two sessions this week due to a hip injury of unknown severity. Making his presence felt Friday is a good sign that he's trending in the right direction, but ultimately his activity level and listing for Sunday's game at New England won't be known until Las Vegas releases its final Week 3 practice report.

Jacobs (hip) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With back-to-back absences to start the practice week, what Jacobs does Friday will be pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. It's still possible that his reps simply are being managed, but if Jacobs ends up out or limited at all this weekend, Jalen Richard and Devontae Booker are next up for the Raiders' backfield touches.

Jacobs (hip) wasn't spotted at the start of Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
We'll have to see if the running back officially ends up listed as limited or as a non-participant Thursday. If he does go down as a non-participant for the second day in a row, then what Jacobs is able to do on the field Friday will be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Jacobs (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders' initial injury report of the week is lengthy, but that's not a big surprise with the team having just played Monday. Star tight end Darren Waller (knee) was also listed as a non-participant Wednesday, but we suspect that the duo -- both of whom were busy in the team's Week 2 win over the Saints -- will be able to practice in some capacity Thursday.

Jacobs rushed 27 times for 88 yards and caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 34-24 win over the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs again saw a lion's share of touches as the centerpiece of Las Vegas' offense. Although he averaged under four yards per carry for the second straight week, Jacobs benefitted from his huge volume, now topping 85 yards in consecutive outings. The second-year tailback also got involved in the passing game, snagging each ball thrown his way. Even though his fantasy managers will be disappointed by a failed attempt at a one-yard touchdown during the second half, Jacobs' critical role for the Raiders offers great encouragement going into Week 3's game against the Patriots.

Jacobs carried the ball 25 times for 93 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1 against Carolina. He added four receptions for 46 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs found the end zone regularly, with all three of his scores coming from within 10 yards. Also encouraging was his involvement in the receiving game, as Jacobs failed to record four receptions in any contest during his rookie campaign. Jacobs is locked in to a bellcow role for the Raiders and should be a key part of their offense in Week 2 against the Saints.

Jacobs (undisclosed) participated in practice Sunday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was absent from the first three sessions of Raiders camp, but Jon Gruden didn't sound too worried Friday. "They're not out; they're working. You just don't see them," Gruden told Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, speaking of Jacobs and right tackle Trent Brown (undisclosed). Tafur noted Jacobs ripped off a "couple nice runs so far" Sunday, so the second-year back seems on track for a typical workload in the near future.
