On track to play Thursday Jacobs (quadriceps/calf), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact While taking questionable designations into both of the Raiders' past two games, Jacobs has not only avoided the inactive list, but he's come through with two of his best performances of the season while taking on massive workloads. In wins over the Seahawks and Chargers, Jacobs has carried 59 times for 373 yards (6.3 average) to go with eight receptions for 80 yards while finding the end zone three times. Though he's still bothered by the pair of injuries, Jacobs looks on track to be cleared once again when the Raiders release their inactive list 90 minutes before the team's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Given that the Raiders are sizable favorites against the undermanned Rams and are playing on a short week, head coach Josh McDaniels could look to lighten Jacobs' snap count a bit to ensure he's healthy heading into the final four games of the regular season.

Listed as questionable again Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Impact Jacobs seems likely to play, considering he was listed as questionable ahead of the Raiders' Week 13 game and ultimately took 26 carries for 144 yards in a win over the Chargers on Sunday. The quick turnaround for Week 14 isn't ideal, but the Raiders listed him as a limited practice participant Monday through Wednesday. Las Vegas' inactive list will be released around 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, with Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah representing the best bets to pick up snaps and touches out the backfield for the Raiders if Jacobs is held out or available only in a limited capacity.

Limited again Jacobs (quadriceps) was again listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice-report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Raiders again held a walk-through in favor of an actual practice, so his limited participation is just an estimate. Given Jacobs' heavy workload over the past four games and the short week ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams, it is not surprising that Las Vegas is opting to err on the side of caution here. While there is no real worry at this point to think his Week 14 status is in any danger, it will be worth monitoring his status on the team's final injury report Wednesday.

Listed as limited on estimate Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) was a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Impact The Raiders didn't practice Monday, so the report was merely an estimate. Jacobs has totaled 108 touches over his past four games, so his appearance on the injury report can likely be attributed to rest. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against the Rams, but at this point, there doesn't appear to be any indication that Jacobs is in danger of missing Week 14.

Another huge performance Jacobs carried the ball 26 times for 144 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers. He also caught both his targets for six yards.
Impact For the second straight week, Jacobs came into the game with a calf injury that made it uncertain if he would even play, and for the second week he looked unbothered by the issue as he shredded a run defense that seemed helpless to stop him. Jacobs has posted three straight 100-yard performances and six in his last nine games, a surge that has moved him into the lead for the NFL rushing crown with 1,303 yards on the season. He could be listed as questionable again due to a quick turnaround before Thursday's game against the Rams, but Jacobs' current form will make him extremely hard to fade.

Active in Week 13 Jacobs (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 13 clash against the Chargers, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Impact Jacobs practiced in limited fashion throughout the week to head into the weekend with a questionable designation, a repeat of the scenario ahead of the Week 12 overtime win over the Seahawks that the star running back sealed with an 86-yard touchdown run. News had been trending up on Jacobs heading into Sunday, and reports that he was in line to suit up have now evolved into official active status. Thus, Jacobs should be in line for his usual robust workload against a Chargers defense allowing 162.7 rushing yards per road contest.
