Jacob worked out with the Browns on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he opened camp on the active/PUP list with a knee injury, Jacobs was waived by the Jaguars on Aug. 1. He now appears to be healthy as the preseason heats up and will likely sign with another team in the near future.

Jacobs (knee) was waived by the Jaguars on Friday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs landed on the Active/PUP list to begin camp while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained in September of 2020, but he'll now be let go under a failed physical designation. The 25-year-old recorded three solo tackles across three games prior to suffering his injury last year.

The Jaguars have placed Jacobs (knee) on the Active/PUP list, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs is recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained in September of last season. It remains unclear how close he is to returning to on-the-field activities. When healthy, he projects to provide depth at inside linebacker for the Jags.

Jacobs (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old suffered a torn ACL during Thursday's loss to the Dolphins, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to injured reserve. Jacobs will miss the rest of the season and will focus his recovery efforts on being ready for offseason work in 2021.

Jacobs (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Thursday's loss to the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs had to be carted off the field Thursday, and Friday's MRI confirms a near worst-case scenario for the third-year pro. Jacksonville's defense has surrendered an average of 109 rushing yards per contest through three weeks, and the loss of Jacobs stands to further detract from the front seven's ability to stop the run. Cassius Marsh and Dakota Allen appear in line to handle increased defensive snaps going forward.

Jacobs (knee) was carted off the field during Jacksonville's first defensive drive of the game and he will be unable to return Thursday night against the Dolphins, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
This development thins out the middle of the Jaguars' defense, forcing Cassius Marsh and Dakota Allen into more prominent roles alongside remaining starting linebackers Myles Jack and Joe Schobert. Myles Gaskin chewed up Jacksonville's defense for 35 rushing yards on the opening drive as Miami went down for an immediate touchdown, and now the going may get even tougher for the Jaguars' front seven with the recent injury to Jacobs.

Jacobs had 42 tackles (31 solo), two sacks and one pass defensed in 14 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old missed two games with a hamstring injury as Jacksonville dealt with a multitude of linebacker injuries overall, but Jacobs was able to work in a rotational role for most of the season. The 2018 seventh-round pick likely will enter training camp in line for a similar role next season.

Jacobs had three tackles (two solo) and a sack during Sunday's 28-11 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old is seeing more defensive work of late, playing 72 defensive snaps in the last two contests after seeing only 137 snaps through his first eight games of the year. Despite the increased workload, Jacobs' IDP value remains limited since he's not working in an every-down role.

Jacobs (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs sat out the last two games with the hamstring issue but is good to go coming out of the bye week. The 24-year-old has three starts this season but mostly plays a rotational role on defense, as he's played over 40 percent of defensive snaps in only one of seven games.

Jacobs (hamstring) will return to practice Monday after the bye, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs has missed two straight with the issue and will be of help in a depth role if he can return. The 24-year-old hasn't played more than 29 snaps on defense in a game yet this season.
