NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • NFL.COM

Huge workload in Week 8 win Jacobs registered 128 rushing yards on 31 carries during Sunday's 16-6 win against Cleveland.

Impact The 2019 first-round draft choice was coming off his worst NFL rushing performance entering Week 8, as he managed just 17 yards on 10 carries the preceding Sunday against Tampa Bay's No. 1 rush defense. Jacobs may have been held to 25 or fewer receiving yards for the sixth straight game against the Browns, but his Week 8 totals established new season highs in both carries and rush yards. A matchup against the Chargers may slow down Jacobs in Las Vegas' next game, as Los Angeles has allowed just 85.8 rushing yards per contest to opposing RBs this season, surrendering an NFL-low one rushing TD to the position.

Off final injury report Jacobs (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Jacobs was limited in all three of Vegas' practice sessions this week, but he'll be out there on game day. He was stifled by Tampa Bay's league-best run defense last time out, but Jacobs should find more running room against a Browns defense that has allowed either a rushing or receiving touchdown to an opposing running back in all but one game this season.

Another limited session Jacobs (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact With back-to-back limited sessions under his belt, what Jacobs is able to do at practice Friday should determine whether he approaches Sunday's game against the Browns listed as questionable or minus a Week 8 injury designation.

Logs limited practice Jacobs (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact So far there's nothing to suggest that Jacobs' status for Sunday's game against the Browns is in any danger. As long as he's good to go this weekend, the running back will look to bounce back from a 10-carry, 17-yard rushing effort in Sunday's 45-20 loss to the 5-2 Buccaneers, who've allowed a league-low 66 yards per game on the ground to date.

Stifled on ground in loss Jacobs rushed 10 times for 17 yards and brought in three of four targets for 14 yards in the Raiders' 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact Jacobs' rushing prospects weren't exactly bright going into a matchup against the stingiest run defense in the league, but his 1.7 yards per carry average was nevertheless somewhat jarring from a fantasy perspective. The second-year back has now averaged under 4.0 yards per carry in three straight contests and in five of Las Vegas' six games overall. Jacobs did encouragingly retain a relatively solid role in the passing game Sunday, however, and he'll look to boost his numbers significantly across the board in a Week 8 encounter with the Browns' vulnerable rush defense.
