The Canadiens announced Thursday that Jacobs is rehabbing a small injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2019-20 season, and his ailment to begin training camp this year could hinder his chance of earning a spot on the Canadiens' Opening Night roster. He made 26 appearances with AHL Laval last season and recorded a goal, four assists and 14 PIM. If he's left off the Canadiens' roster to begin the regular season, he'll likely head back to the minors.

Jacobs signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs had 15 points in 51 contests with AHL Chicago last season. The 26-year-old defenseman hasn't played in the NHL since 2019-20 and has just three games at hockey's highest level in his career, so he should be expected to play almost all of 2022-23 with AHL Colorado.
