On Thursday night, the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders square off in a game that both teams must win.
Due to a quad injury, Josh Jacobs, the premier running back for the Raiders, is listed as questionable to participate. However, after missing practice this week, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport stated that Jacobs’ status is “very much in doubt.”
According to Rapoport, “his status is very much in doubt.” “He won’t play if he is in danger of getting hurt again, but we’ll see if he can get well enough to try it today.”
The Raiders haven’t formally said no to Jacobs playing on Thursday. They don’t want to put their talented running back at danger of more injuries, though. Thus, at best, Jacobs’ availability for Thursday Night Football is uncertain.
Josh Jacobs might skip Thursday’s game.
This season, the 25-year-old has participated in 13 games. With plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Raiders offense, Jacobs has run for 805 yards and six touchdowns. In addition, he has 37 receptions for 296 yards.
Jacobs’ injury will be a problem for the Raiders offense. Nevertheless, they might still be able to succeed against the dubious Chargers defense.
Also to be mentioned is the absence of Los Angeles’ standout wide receiver Keenan Allen, who was just ruled out due to an injury. In LA, Justin Herbert is also absent.
Once more, both teams are playing for a lot in this game. With so many injuries to worry about, the Raiders and Chargers will have to rely on their depth.
The game on Thursday is set to begin at 8:15 PM EST. As further information becomes available, we’ll keep an eye on Josh Jacobs’s injuries and share it with you.
