Running back Josh Jacobs is listed as a starter on the team’s preseason depth chart. It’s fair to wonder how much longer he’ll be on the team.
Jacobs, the only skill-position player to start for the Raiders in Canton on Thursday night, had five carries for 30 yards. He added two catches for 14.
Coach Josh McDaniels downplayed the decision to use Jacobs in the bonus preseason game, explaining that running backs need to get used to being hit and tackled before the games that count. Still, it’s entirely possible that Jacobs has fallen out of favor with the new regime in Las Vegas.
