ALAMEDA -- Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was cleared to practice on Wednesday, but head coach Jon Gruden couldn’t guarantee he would play Sunday’s Oakland Coliseum finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He had things to prove to both trainers and coaches during the practice week to gain final clearance. It seems it could be coming soon.
Offensive coordinator Greg Olson said Jacobs looked great in his return to work after missing last week’s loss to Tennessee with a fractured shoulder suffered in Week 7.
“He looked great,” Olson said. “He’s been a pro and obviously he’s shown that he can play with injuries.
