Plans to play Sunday Jacobs (hand/quad), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, plans to play in the contest, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reports.

Impact The running back, who was limited in practice this past week, injured his right pinkie finger during Week 14 action. Assuming he's active for Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff -- something worth confirming -- Jacobs indicated that the plan to manage the issue is to "probably cast it a little bit, wrap it up and then see how it goes from there." To date, the 2019 first-rounder has maintained a high-volume role while leading the Raiders' backfield, and we suspect that he'll log as much work as he can handle Sunday, with his potential workload hinging on how his hand/finger respond to in-game contact. If Jacobs ends up limited at all or suffers any setbacks versus New England, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White would be candidates to log added snaps.

Josh Jacobs on being named captain for rest of season: 'It's definitely a great honor' Running back Josh Jacobs discusses his status for Week 15, the team naming him a captain for the rest of the season and more.

Listed as questionable for Sunday Jacobs (quad/hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site rep...

Impact Jacobs has yet to miss a game this season, but his status will nonetheless be worth confirming ahead of Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff. "He's had a good week. We've been smart about him in general and obviously he's played a lot of snaps for us and done a lot of things in terms of being physical," coach Josh McDaniels noted of the Raiders' top running back Friday. "So, we'll make a good choice on that as well and if there's something that we need to limit, then we'll try to. But right now, he looks like he's going to be able to handle that." With McDaniels' comments in mind, we suspect that Jacobs will be available this weekend, a notion echoed by the running back, who said he plans on playing, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

Remains limited Thursday Jacobs (quadriceps/hand) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With back-to-back limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs will probably have to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 15 injury designation. That said, there's been nothing to suggest that the Raiders' top back -- who has been listed as questionable in advance of his team's last three games -- won't continue to tough things out this Sunday against the Patriots.

Limited practice Wednesday Jacobs (quadriceps/hand) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs managed quad and calf issues during Week 14 prep and is now dealing with a hand injury that he suffered in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams last Thursday. That said, the Raiders are expecting Jacobs to be ready to play against the Patriots this weekend. Unless he practices fully Thursday or Friday, however, Jacobs will likely approach the contest with an injury designation.

Slated for tests on finger Jacobs is set to undergo tests after injuring a pinkie finger in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The running back underwent some initial X-rays during the game, which returned negative. Jacobs was able to return to action after popping his finger back into place, finishing the night with 27 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 15 yards.

Another hefty workload in loss Jacobs rushed 27 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while securing both targets for 15 yards in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

Impact Jacobs opened the game in trademark fashion with a one-yard touchdown run to cap off a 12-play, 75-yard march on the Raiders' first possession. However, yards were much more at a premium throughout the rest of the game, and Jacobs also missed some time tending to a hand injury early in the second half that seemed to continue to affect him whenever he attempted to stiff-arm defenders. The star back, who saw his streak of 100-yard games narrowly stopped at three, will now get some much-needed extra rest before a Week 15 home showdown versus the Patriots.

Suits up Thursday Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Rams, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Raiders' top RB approached the contest listed as questionable, as was the case prior to the team's past two games, but he'll once again give it a go and should continue to handle to bulk of Las Vegas' backfield touches Thursday in the absence of any in-game setbacks, with Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White, Brandon Bolden and Brittain Brown on hand in reserve. Over his last two games, Jacobs (who leads the NFL with 1,303 rushing yards through 12 outings) racked up a fantasy-friendly total of 59 carries for 373 yards and three TDs, to go along with eight catches for 80 yards in that span.
