New high in regular-season finale Jacobs (ribs) rushed 26 times for 132 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 12 more yards in Sunday's 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers.
Impact Jacobs suited up for this game despite carrying a questionable tag into the weekend, but the rib injury did not appear to hamper Las Vegas' top rushing option. The 28 touches tied the 23-year-old's previous season high, while the 132 rushing yards set a new highwater mark heading into the postseason. As for the regular season, Jacobs had a down year (872 rushing yards, 348 receiving yards and nine touchdowns over 15 games) and finished below 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his three seasons with the Raiders. Las Vegas has seen its offense experience major coaching and scheme changes throughout the year, but Jacobs figures to be heavily involved if the Raiders stand a chance to upset the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the playoffs.

Playing in Week 18 Jacobs (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chargers.
Impact Jacobs carried a 'questionable' designation into the weekend, but he'll give it a go in Sunday's regular-season finale, which has major playoff implications for both teams. With that in mind, look for Jacobs to handle as much work as his rib issue permits versus Los Angeles, with Peyton Barber and Jalen Richard available to spell him and work in complementary roles out of the Raiders' Week 18 backfield. Jacobs has ripped off 21 touches for 95 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three rushing TDs over the last six contests.

Expected to play Sunday night Jacobs (ribs) is expected to play Sunday night against the Chargers, Taylor Bisciotti of NFL Network reports.
Impact Jacobs is officially listed as questionable for the contest, so his status is nonetheless worth confirming ahead of Sunday's 8:20 ET kickoff. If he is indeed in uniform versus Los Angeles, Jacobs would be in line to head the Raiders' Week 18 backfield, with Peyton Barber and Jalen Richard available to spell him and work in complementary roles. For those looking to secure a contingency plan just to be safe, Barber is worth considering.

Questionable for Sunday night Jacobs (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Impact The Raiders listed the running back as a limited practice participant all week, a slate that included walkthroughs Wednesday and Thursday. However, given his official 'questionable' designation, Jacobs' status is worth tracking ahead of Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Ideally, some added context on that front will arrive late Saturday or early Sunday when national reporters like ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport put out their weekly injury updates. Those looking for some insurance for Jacobs considering Las Vegas' late kickoff may want to consider adding Peyton Barber.

Limited at walk-through session Jacobs was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a rib injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Impact Jacobs has two more opportunities to increased his participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. However, at this stage, there's nothing to suggest that the running back's Week 18 status is in peril. If Jacobs is able to put in a full practice by Friday, he'll have a good chance to head into the weekend minus an injury designation.

Totals 80 yards, finds end zone Jacobs rushed the ball 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts. He added four receptions for 17 yards.
Impact Jacobs enjoyed a productive day primarily on the basis of volume, as he topped 20 touches for the fourth time in his last six games. He wasn't all that efficient, as he managed only one gain that went for double-digit yards. However, he did salvage his effort with a two-yard plunge into the end zone midway through the first quarter. Jacobs hasn't been the most efficient performer this season, though he did surpass 1,000 total yards for the third consecutive campaign.
