JERRY JACOBS NEWS

Works out with Colts The Colts worked out Jacobs (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Jacobs was previously let go by the Rams with an injury settlement in late August, but following his workout with the Colts, it appears he's moved past the undisclosed issue. The Arkansas product appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Lions in 2023, recording 55 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions.

Let go with injury settlement The Rams waived Jacobs (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Jacobs did not suit up for the Rams' preseason game against the Chargers on Saturday. He played in 15 regular-season games with the Lions in 2023, finishing the season with a career-high 55 tackles (49 solo), eight passes defended and three interceptions. Once healthy, Jacobs will look to catch on with a team in need of depth in the secondary.

Signs, practices with Rams The Rams officially signed Jacobs on Saturday, Nick Hamilton of SiriusXM reports.

Impact Jacobs' signing comes in the wake of Derion Kendrick's season-ending ACL tear and Darious Williams' hamstring strain. Jacobs practiced with the Rams on Saturday, per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, so he appears to be clear of the hamstring injury that caused him to finish last year on injured reserve. If Williams is unable to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Jacobs may need to step in to start.

Plans to sign with Rams The Rams plan to sign Jacobs (hamstring), Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs racked up a career-high 55 tackles with Detroit in 2023, but he struggled in coverage and was ultimately non-tendered by the Lions back in March. Now he'll join a Rams team that just lost promising young corner Derion Kendrick for the entire upcoming year to a torn ACL.

Deemed FP for Tuesday's walkthrough Jacobs (hamstring) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs missed Sunday's Week 16 win over Minnesota due to a hamstring issue, and he was unable to practice at all last week. However, the third-year cornerback's estimated full participation Tuesday suggests that he's shown significant improvement. Detroit plays Dallas on Saturday, and Jacobs will likely be able to return for that contest as long as he doesn't have any setbacks.

Manages full practice Thursday Jacobs (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Impact After sitting out in Week 7 at Baltimore, Jacobs appears to be on track to suit up Monday versus Las Vegas. He should immediately step back in as one of Detroit's top cover corners opposite Cameron Sutton.

Inactive for Week 7 Jacobs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

Impact Jacobs will miss his first game of the season due to a knee injury. He was a limited participant at each practice during Week 7 prep, so there's a good chance he's facing just a one-game absence. In his stead, Brian Branch, Chase Lucas and Khalil Dorsey are candidates for increased snaps opposite Cameron Sutton.

Added to injury report Jacobs is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a knee injury.

Impact It is unclear when Jacobs picked up the knee issue, but his status for Week 7 is up in the air as a result. If he does not get the green light, Chase Lucas and Brian Branch would be prime candidates to fill in opposite Cameron Sutton at corner. Still, more clarity on Jacobs' status is unlikely to come until closer to kickoff.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Successful second season Jacobs recorded 42 tackles, one sack, eight pass breakups and one interception over 12 games in 2022.

Impact Jacobs missed the first five games of the year while working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in 2021, but he finished the season as arguably Detroit's most reliable cornerback. Not only was Jeff Okudah (elbow) benched down the stretch after an impressive first half of the season, Amani Oruwariye and Mike Hughes -- who will be free agents at the end of the league year -- were benched at different points as well. Jacobs ultimately became a mainstay in the defensive lineup by year's end, and the Alabama product seems primed to return to Detroit in 2023 as a near every-down player for new defensive backs coach Dre Bly.
