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.

Jacobs (illness) is active for Monday's game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs tended to a toe injury during Week 1 prep, but despite logging limited sessions he was cleared on the Raiders' last practice report Saturday. He proceeded to come down with an illness Sunday, spurring the team to place a questionable tag on the running back. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that Jacobs was in line to suit up in the opener, and he'll do just that. With Kenyan Drake on the roster, however, it remains to be seen how much work Jacobs can expect due to his recent health concerns.

Jacobs (illness) is trending toward playing Monday against the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Confirmation likely won't surface until shortly before kickoff, but Jacobs is more likely to suit up than not. How much he'll contribute, if healthy, is another story, making Kenyan Drake an arguably safer fantasy play given the newcomer's health and expected pass-catching contributions.

Jacobs (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was cleared of a toe injury Saturday, but his status has been thrown back in doubt due to an illness. If the Raiders' early down workhorse is unable to suit up Monday, offseason additions Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber would split carries in Vegas' backfield, with Drake likely taking on the lead role. A final verdict on Jacobs' status likely won't come down until shortly prior to kickoff.

Jacobs (toe) wasn't listed on the team's final injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the Ravens, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite logging his third straight limited practice, Jacobs will nevertheless enter Week 1 deemed completely healthy. It wouldn't be surprising if the 2019 first-round pick routinely has a similar sort of practice cadence in ensuing weeks to maintain health for the balky toe injury, which he suffered toward the end of August.

Jacobs (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After the session, Jacobs relayed to Gutierrez, "I feel good. I did everything today. I feel good to go." Jacobs missed practice earlier this week due to a toe issue, but since the Raiders have been required to post injury reports he's been an active participant in drills, albeit with a cap on his reps. He noted Friday that he may see maintenance days moving forward, but the current concern doesn't appear as if it'll impact his availability for game action.

Jacobs was limited at practice Thursday due to a toe issue.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' presence on the field Thursday after previously missing practice bodes well for his chances of suiting up Monday night against the Ravens. He'll have two more chances to elevate his participation level in advance of the contest. Assuming he's cleared to play Week 1, Jacobs is poised to head the Raiders backfield, with Kenyan Drake on hand to work in a complementary role and Peyton Barber available in a reserve capacity.

Jacobs was absent from his second straight practice Tuesday for an unspecified reason and isn't expected to return to the field until Thursday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raiders haven't revealed whether Jacobs' absence is related to an injury, an illness or a personal matter, and an explanation likely won't be provided until Thursday, when the team will release its first Week 1 practice report. Regardless, assuming Jacobs makes it back to practice Thursday as expected, he would be in position to lead the Las Vegas backfield in Monday's season opener versus the Ravens. Jacobs' absence from workouts to begin the week will at least have the side benefit of allowing the Raiders to feed more reps to newly signed back Peyton Barber, who is projected to serve as the No. 3 option behind Jacobs and big free-agent signee Kenyan Drake.

Jacobs will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs is established in the Raiders' offense so the team won't take any chances of him suffering in an injury. Joining him on the sidelines from the backfield is Kenyan Drake and Jalen Richard (foot). That will leave a heavy workload for BJ Emmons and Trey Ragas.

The Raiders might view Jacobs and Kenyan Drake similarly to coach Jon Gruden's Tyrone Wheatley and Charlie Garner backfields, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

While Jacobs might match the Wheatley aesthetic more than the speedy, pass-catching skill set of Garner, Jacobs is still the heavy favorite to remain the clear leader between himself and Drake. Drake, meanwhile, is expected to play an off-the-bench role with a pass-catching emphasis. Particularly if the Raiders cut or bench Jalen Richard, there could be room for Jacobs and Drake to coexist.
