While the Colts let Jonathan Taylor seek a trade, league sources say the Raiders have shown no interest in trading their star RB Josh Jacobs. Jacobs hasn’t signed his tender, and no deal is imminent to get him into camp. The NFL rushing champ’s status for Week 1 remains to be determined.

The Raiders have been pretty mum on the subject, even though the season opener is right around the corner. The team did sign Damien Williams recently, but he doesn't project to have any impact on the team's decision with their RB1. Jacobs has now slipped out of the top-10 running backs in 4for4's rankings due to his uncertainty for Week 1.

Running back Josh Jacobs is expected to report to the Raiders before their season opener in three weeks, multiple league sources have indicated.

But with only a few practices remaining before the club takes the field against the Broncos on Sept. 10, time is running out for Jacobs to be fully prepared for the rigors of an NFL game.

Jacobs has been away from the club all offseason and training camp after he and the Raiders failed to come to an agreement on a long-term contract. The story said if and when he returns, he will play either on the terms of the $10.1 million franchise tag or a modified one-season salary.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, who hasn’t signed his franchise tender, was spotted this morning boarding a flight leaving Las Vegas. Jacobs won’t report for training camp Tuesday and has told people close to him that he doesn’t plan to return anytime soon.

The possibility of a holdout seems to be increasing by the week for Jacobs. Any of the above three can be concerned as late-round sprinkles at this point, with 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White the most intriguing.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels says Josh Jacobs is not under contract (hasn’t signed franchise tag) and therefore is not at mandatory minicamp. Perfect attendance, otherwise. Once again, he spoke highly of Jacobs & is respectful of this process.

Even though we haven't heard any updates, it's hard to assume that Josh Jacobs won't be suiting up well ahead of Week 1. Zamir White would be the contingency draft for the weary, as he was technically the first running back this coaching regimen had a hand in taking last year.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Jaguars have franchise-tagged TE Evan Engram.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders placed the franchise tag on Josh Jacobs.

As expected. Both players' value get a boost since we now know where they'll be playing in 2023. Expect the Raiders to continue to use Jacobs in a bell-cow role. Engram had his best season in some time playing for HC Doug Pederson and should continue to be a big part of the Jacksonville passing game. Though with Calvin Ridley added to the mix, targets may be harder to come by.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs – listed as questionable with quad and calf injuries – is expected to play tonight against the #Rams, per sources. Jacobs has an NFL-high 1,634 yards from scrimmage and will look to pad his lead against a depleted Rams defense without Aaron Donald (ankle).

Despite the questionable tag, Jacobs must be plugged into all fantasy lineups. This could enter blowout territory if the Rams really plan to start Baker Mayfield on the other side, so Ameer Abdullah can be considered in deep leagues for desperate managers.

Jacobs was dealing with an ankle injury heading into Week 12 before running all over the Seahawks. Now dealing with a calf injury, Jacobs is not expected to practice much, if at all, this week because of the calf strain, Pelissero said in his tweet. Pelissero added Jacobs will get around-the-clock treatment. If he can't go, White and Abdullah would likely split up the workload.

Hunter Renfrow is officially out for Week 3 with a concussion while teammate Josh Jacobs is questionable with an illness.

Renfrow has far and away led the team in slot routes through two weeks and is one of only three WRs who have received a target thus far in the season. Mack Hollins is the best bet to fill much of the Renfrow role with a semi-promotion possibly going to Tyron Johnson.

This is, of course, a bold prediction. But it also comes from a very reliable source and comes with Josh Jacobs trending in the wrong direction.

The Raiders are currently carrying five running backs (plus a fullback), so if Jacobs really loses this much ground game work to rookie Zamir White, the veteran's fantasy season is going to be miserable. Amongst those other running backs resides Brandon Bolden, who has a rich history of catching passes out of the backfield in a Josh McDaniels offense.

The Raiders plan to release veteran RB Kenyan Drake, per source.

Raiders beat writer Maurice Morton added to Pelissero's tweet that he's "not surprised about this." He said Abdullah hasn’t played the last 2 preseason games and he clearly surpassed Drake on the Raiders RB depth chart. In his eyes, the depth chart goes: Jacobs, White, Abdullah and Bolden. Drake could catch on somewhere else but his role may not be as significant as it once was.
