Josh Jacobs Could Play Without Practicing
5 years agoOakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he feels like he could play in Week 8 against the Texans even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Players don't usually get to make these decisions, but Jacobs should be questionable and has a chance to suit up as the team's lead back. He's more of a riskier RB2 this week, though, with the Raiders playing an afternoon game. If he doesn't get the green light, expect Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington to split backfield touches. Richard would be a PPR flex and Washington would be a standard flex. The good news for Jacobs is he went back into last week's game after injuring his shoulder.
