Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels was asked about Jacobs' status after the team's 34-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. He said he didn't have an update, but also asserted that Jacobs would need practice time to get game ready — and he's already missed plenty of it..
Jacobs led the league last year with 1,653 rushing yards and 2,053 scrimmage yards, recording 12 touchdowns. He also had five games with more than 140 rushing yards and more than one touchdown last year.
