Jacobs, Brown, Abram questionable for Raiders vs. Colts

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, right tackle Trent Brown and safety Johnathan Abram are questionable for this week’s key showdown with the Indianapolis Colts

Listed as questionable for Week 14 Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging limited practices both Thursday and Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com

Impact Jacobs sat out Wednesday's session, but the fact that he practiced Thursday and Friday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- would seem to bode well for his Week 14 availability. Final confirmation of the running back's status will arrive once the Raiders inactives are released in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Resumes practicing Jacobs (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact It remains to be seen how the Raiders list Jacobs for Sunday's game against the Colts, but his return to the field Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests that the running back has a chance to return to action this weekend. If that doesn't happen, however, Devontae Booker would be in line to lead the team's backfield again, with Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick on hand to work in complementary/change-of-pace roles.

Raiders expect Josh Jacobs, Trent Brown and Johnathan Abram to face Colts Josh Jacobs has a history of playing through injuries and is not about to miss what could be the pivotal game of the Raiders' season.

Misses Wednesday's practice Jacobs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Jon Gruden was pessimistic Monday about Jacobs' chances of suiting up Sunday against the Colts, and not much seems to have changed two days later. If Jacobs is forced to miss a second consecutive game, Devontae Booker would be in line to headline Vegas' backfield again, with Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick also on hand.

Impact Jacobs didn't practice at all before being ruled out for last weekend's narrow win over the Jets, and it looks like he could be trending toward a two-game absence due to an ankle sprain. Devontae Booker was ineffective in the lead role versus New York, but he could get another chance to handle a notable workload against Indianapolis' stout defensive front.

Could play Week 14 Jacobs (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Jets, but the Raiders are hopeful the running back can return in Week 14, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact It's a bit of an optimistic tone considering the running back didn't practice all week. Of course, the Raiders would like to have their star running back healthy as the team pushes for a playoff spot, but the tone of Saturday's latest report seems to suggest it'll once again come down to Jacobs' practice status later next week. For now, expect Devontae Booker to get the bulk of the carries in Jacobs' absence.

Won't play Sunday Jacobs (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Jets, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Now that Jacobs is ruled out, look for Devontae Booker to head the Raiders' Week 13 backfield, with Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick available to handle complementary/change-of-pace duties Sunday. Jacobs will now target a potential return to action Dec. 13 against the Colts.

Sits out another practice Jacobs (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs has now missed back-to-back practices due to an ankle sprain sustained during last weekend's blowout loss to the Falcons. It's been suggested that the issue is relatively minor and that Jacobs still has a shot to suit up Week 13, but he'd most likely need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to play during Sunday's game against the Jets. Devontae Booker and Jalen Richard, both of whom are practicing in full, would stand to lead Las Vegas' backfield if Jacobs can't go.
