Josh Jacobs Out Sick Wednesday
3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Jacobs isn't on the COVID-19, but his status bears watching as the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos approaches on Sunday. As long as Jacobs gets on the practice field later this week, he should be considered likely to play this weekend. Jacobs played 65% of the offensive snaps in Week 15 and had 18 total touches for 94 scrimmage yards. He's the Raiders clear lead back with Peyton Barber and Jalen Richard providing a change of pace, but he'll face one of the better overall defenses in the Broncos this weekend. Jacobs might need a touchdown to really stand out, but he'll at least be a low-end RB2 due to the volume.
