Game-time decision for Monday Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Chargers and likely will be a game-time decision, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Impact Jacobs was spotted participating in Saturday's practice, but the Raiders understandably have been cautious with the 2019 first-round pick, holding him out both of the last two games. According to coach Jon Gruden, Jacobs will be put through a pre-game gauntlet to determine his status ahead of the divisional contest. While the team spent lavishly on the acquisition of Kenyan Drake this offseason, it's been veteran castoff Peyton Barber who has taken on a heavy workload with Jacobs sidelined, logging a 23-111-1 rushing line in last week's win over the Dolphins. Expect to see another heavy dose of Barber in the event Jacobs is sidelined Monday.
