Not on Week 9 injury report Jacobs, who sustained a chest contusion in the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Eagles, is not listed on the team's Week 9 injury report.

Impact The Raiders were on bye last week and the time off evidently allowed Jacobs to recover from his chest issue. As a result, he's in line to retain his lead RB role Sunday against the Giants. In five games thus far this season, Jacobs has logged 60 carries for 204 yards and five TDs while adding 14 catches (on 16 targets) for 110 yards.

Diagnosed with contusion Interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said Jacobs sustained a chest contusion in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles, but the running back is expected to be fine for the Raiders' next ga...

Impact Though the injury knocked him out of the Raiders' Week 7 game early, Jacobs likely would have stood a good chance at playing next weekend, if Las Vegas had a game. Instead, Jacobs will benefit from an extra week of rest with the Raiders on bye Week 8, which should put him in strong position to practice fully in advance of the matchup with the Giants. Jacobs at least rewarded fantasy managers with a touchdown before his early departure against the Eagles while also chipping in 68 yards from scrimmage on nine touches (six carries, three catches).

Raiders' offensive line dominant in win over Eagles

Avoided major injury Jacobs (chest) likely avoided a serious injury in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Raiders have a well-timed Week 8 bye, which will give the banged-up Jacobs extra time to heal up after he exited Sunday's 33-22 win early. Jacobs battled toe and ankle injuries early in the season, but he has gotten on a roll lately and extended his touchdown streak to three games prior to hurting his chest against Philly.

Finds end zone Jacobs ran for 53 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries while catching his only target for 29 yards against Denver on Sunday.

Impact Jacobs was somewhat plodding in the ground game with just 3.3 yards per carry, but he provided a steadying presence for the Raiders as they protected a lead for most of the game. The 29-yard reception is hopefully a good omen for Jacobs' rushing efficiency in upcoming games, because he has generally struggled from scrimmage through four games (3.2 yards per carry, 5.5 yards per target). Jacobs' investors will hope he can maintain his touchdown production going forward, though hopefully with more yardage to show. He gets the Eagles in Week 7.

Cleared to face Broncos Jacobs (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos after returning to a limited practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs missed Thursday's practice session, but the running back's limited participation Friday and subsequent final listing on the Raiders' Week 6 injury report sets the stage for him to head the team's rushing attack this weekend against a stout Denver defense that has allowed an average of 85.4 rushing yards to date. Meanwhile, Peyton Barber (toe) is available to spell Jacobs in early down situations Sunday, while Kenyan Drake and possibly Jalen Richard are slated to work in change-of-pace roles versus the Broncos.
