Jacobs (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs didn't practice last week until Friday, so he's already well ahead of where he was this time last week, on the heels of back-to-back limited sessions. We expect the running back to be out there for Sunday's 4:05 ET tilt against the Lions, but there's a decent chance the Raiders will officially list him as questionable on their final Week 9 injury report.

Jacobs (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs played through his shoulder issue in this past Sunday's loss to the Texans while leading the Raiders' backfield en route to recording 15 carries for 66 yards and catching both of his targets for 15 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we'll assume his limitations Wednesday were simply a case of the team managing his practice reps in advance of this weekend's tilt against the Lions.

Jacobs carried 15 times for 66 yards and caught two passes for an additional 15 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Although Jacobs averaged a respectable 4.4 yards per carry against a solid Texans front, his 15 totes on the day were his fewest since Week 3. He made a slight contribution as a pass-catcher, but his total of 81 scrimmage yards was his second lowest of the season. While it wasn't his greatest effort to date, Jacobs' high floor for yardage and touches still makes him a solid fantasy play, and he should continue as such next Sunday at home against the Lions.

Jacobs (shoulder) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

This development was increasingly expected, with multiple late-week and weekend reports indicating Jacobs was trending in the right direction. The impressive rookie should be available for his usual workload Week 8 against a relatively tough Texans run defense.

Jacobs (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET game against the Texans after returning to a limited practice Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Per Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle, coach Jon Gruden tentatively expects Jacobs -- who has been dealing with a sore shoulder -- to play this weekend, "but we'll have to see how it goes." In the event that Jacobs is limited or made a surprise inactive against Houston on Sunday, DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard are next up for carries for the Raiders.

Though Jacobs didn't practice Thursday, he intends to play Sunday against the Texans, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. "It would have to be broke for me not to play," Jacobs noted of the sore shoulder that has led to back-to-back absences from practice.

EDGE Analysis

That the rookie running back plans to play is highly encouraging, but ideally he'll get at least some reps at Friday's practice. Ultimately, his Week 8 status is not his call, but it sounds like Jacobs believes that his shoulder issue is something he can manage and play through this weekend. He's still likely to end up being listed as questionable by the Raiders, in any case.

Jacobs (shoulder) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' availability for Sunday's game against the Texans is beginning to look dicey with the running back having now missed both of the Raiders' first two practices of the week. Coach Jon Gruden noted Wednesday that Jacobs is still feeling sore coming out of the Raiders' Week 7 loss to the Packers, so the running back will be extended another day of rest with the hope it helps resolve the issue. The Raiders will decide whether Jacobs will carry a designation into the Week 8 matchup at the conclusion of Friday's practice.

Coach Jon Gruden said that Jacobs is "still very sore" due to a shoulder injury he suffered Sunday against the Packers, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The running back didn't practice Wednesday, but given that he toughed it out after sustaining the injury this past Sunday, he has a shot to play this weekend against the Texans, provided he's able to return to practice Thursday or Friday. Next up for carries for the Raiders in the event that Jacobs is limited or out against Houston are DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard.

Jacobs wasn't spotted at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs strained his shoulder during Sunday's loss to the Packers but he returned to action after receiving treatment and finished with 134 scrimmage yards. The fact that Jacobs was able to play through the issue bodes well for his chances of suiting up Week 8 against the Texans, but the Raiders may restrict his practice time as a safeguard. The Raiders will reveal whether Jacobs fit in any activity behind the scenes or if he remained out for the entire session when the team releases its initial injury report later Wednesday.

Jacobs ran for 124 yards on 21 carries and added 10 yards on three catches during Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Packers. He strained his shoulder during game, but returned and should not miss any time, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Those who have spent the last year or so under a rock might have tuned in to the game and wondered why Marshawn Lynch was wearing No. 28. The talented rookie did his best Lynch impression early in Sunday's game, weaving through and pummeling defenders on his way to a 42-yard gain, his second longest of the season. Jacobs' fans would doubtlessly like more than the two touchdowns he has scored in the past five games, but the Alabama product is about as consistent a threat you can ask for at running back with at least 99 total yards in five of six games. The Raiders' offense continues to run through him, but he'll be tested Sunday by a fairly stout Houston run defense.
