Jacobs (ankle) is a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs drew the start at strongside linebacker in Sunday's season opener but he logged just 11 snaps before exiting with an ankle injury. Monday's reports of him wearing a boot on the afflicted foot initially raised concern that the injury may be serious, but the linebacker's full participation Wednesday strongly suggests otherwise. Jacobs is thus right on track to play in this weekend's matchup with the Patriots.

Jacobs had a walking boot on his left foot Monday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of Jacobs' injury are unclear, but the walking boot is less than encouraging for his short term status. A seventh-round pick in this year's draft, Jacobs quickly ascended the Jaguars' depth chart and posted two tackles in his NFL debut Sunday. He should be considered questionable for the team's Week 2 matchup against New England for the time being.

The Jaguars selected Jacobs in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 230th overall.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs gained experience at both inside and outside linebacker, in addition to fullback, during his five years at Wisconsin. Boasting 4.48 speed and elite physical tools, he's more of an athlete than refined prospect at this stage, but he could be an immediate contributor on special teams for the Jaguars as a rookie.
