Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is active for tonight's game against the Ravens. He was limited in practice all week with a toe issue and then added back to the injury report with an illness on Saturday. We haven't heard that Jacobs will be limited tonight, though, so he seems safe to use as you were originally planning.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (illness) is “on track” to play tonight vs. Baltimore. We’ll share Jacobs’ official game status once inactives are released in a couple of hours.

The Raiders have downgraded RB Josh Jacobs to questionable for Monday night's game against the Ravens because of an illness. It's not clear what the illness is. If it were COVID-related, though, Jacobs would have already been ruled out. We'll check on his status Monday evening. Kenyan Drake would start in his place, with Peyton Barber looking like the #2 back. On the Ravens side, Ty'Son Williams, Latavius Murray and Le'Veon Bell stand as potential replacements if Jacobs is out and you're suddenly hard up.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (toe) was limited in practice all week but isn't listed on the final injury report. We'll keep an eye on the toe issue but are expecting Jacobs to be ready for his usual role on Monday night vs. the Ravens.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs was limited in Thursday's practice with a toe issue. It's the 1st we've heard of it. Jacobs should be available for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens, but stayed tuned to Shark Bites for updates.

Raiders beat writer Vic Tafur writes that RB Josh Jacobs looks “tougher and faster this camp.” It’s worth noting that Jacobs — entering his 3rd season — is only 23. Tafur also described Kenyan Drake as someone who’ll be "moved around on third downs and in the red zone.” No surprise there. Both RBs are viable picks at ADP, but it’s clear that Drake’s presence will limit Jacobs’ fantasy ceiling.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is expected to play this weekend after an MRI on his injured shoulder "checked out very positively," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's good timing for Jacobs, who will return to face a barely-there Jaguars run defense that's allowed a pathetic 6.3 yards per carry to RBs over the last 4 weeks.
