Status in question for Sunday Jacobs (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs capped Week 3 prep with back-to-back absences, the result of an illness. Gutierrez also reported that Jacobs won't travel with the Raiders to Nashville on Friday, meaning the running back's status truly is up in the air. If Jacobs is unable to make the trip to Tennessee or shows up and eventually is limited or out Sunday, Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White are on hand to take on whatever Jacobs is unable to.

Still dealing with illness Jacobs (illness) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Through two games, Jacobs has produced modest results, averaging 4.3 YPC on 29 rushes and gathering in both targets for 28 yards with no touchdowns. An illness didn't allow him to practice Thursday and appears to be doing the same to wrap up Week 3 prep. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Jacobs enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Misses practice Thursday Jacobs didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the injury report Thursday is notable. Look for added context regarding the running back's Week 3 status to arrive no later than Friday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. If Jacobs is out or limited this weekend, Brandon Bolden (hamstring, limited Thursday), Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White are candidates to log added backfield work versus Tennessee.

Big workload with mediocre results Jacobs ran for 69 yard on 19 carries against Arizona on Sunday, adding a 12-yard catch on one target.

Impact Jacobs' workload was reassuring in this game, as Zamir White saw just one carry and Ameer Abdullah logged just one target. Unfortunately for Jacobs' fantasy investors, his next matchup is a road game against the Titans, a defense that could prove to be a more challenging matchup than the Cardinals were.

Back at practice Jacobs (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact The running back had missed time due to an unspecified issue, but now that he's back on the field, Jacobs will look to cement his role atop the Raiders' backfield depth chart. With the team slated to move on from Kenyan Drake, Jacobs and Zamir White appear poised to handle the bulk of the early-down work for Las Vegas, with Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden profiling as the squad's primary change-of-pace options heading into Week 1.

Remains sidelined Jacobs (undisclosed) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed previously noted that Jacobs has been sidelined since Aug. 12, but so far it hasn't been made clear what's causing the running back's absences. With that in mind, Jacobs could be trending toward sitting out Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins.

Doesn't play against Vikings Jacobs didn't appear in the Raiders' 26-20 preseason win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Jacobs was one of the few starters to play during the Hall of Fame Game against the Jaguars, but he didn't take the field Sunday. Ameer Abdullah was also held out for rest purposes, so Zamir White served as the starting running back and rushed five times for 13 yards while securing two of three targets for four yards. Jacobs racked up 44 yards from scrimmage during the Raiders' first exhibition Coach Josh McDaniels refuted speculation this week that the Raiders are looking to trade Jacobs, and the 2019 first-rounder seems to be the frontrunner to serve as the team's starting running back this year in spite of his surprising Hall of Fame Game appearance.
