Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs posted on Instagram that he had surgery on his lower left leg on Christmas Day.
Jacobs delivered the surprising news along with a video of him being wheeled out of surgery.

“This was random. I didn’t plan on even being here. Surgery went great. Fastest surgery ever,” Jacobs wrote.
Although no further details were available about the surgery, it’s hard to believe Jacobs, who was hoping to play Sunday in Denver after sitting out last week with a shoulder injury, would be available as the Raiders try to clinch a playoff berth.
