Raiders HC Jon Gruden told reporters Friday that RB Josh Jacobs is dountful Week 3 against the Dolphins.

Look for Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber to share the workload if Jacobs is officially out.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury.

Jacobs missed Week 2 with the ailment and is in danger of missing Week 3 as well. The Raiders turned to Kenyan Drake and the newly signed Peyton Barber at running back in Jacobs' stead, to disastrous results. Drake averaged 1.7 yards per carry, while Barber was not better at 2.5 yards a pop. Barber saw 13 carries in the win, while Drake saw seven carries and five receptions. The two will continue to split time if Jacobs cannot go. Drake is currently our 32nd ranked running back for Week 3.

Jacobs came into Week 1 dealing with illness and the toe injury. The ankle injury is new and a major concern considering how much he has already dealt with. One less day of rest makes Jacobs's status for Sunday a legitimate question.

We reported earlier today that Drake could see a big workload tonight, with or without Jacobs in the lineup so that puts some doubt in the minds of Jacobs owners. The good news is he's trending toward playing but coming off an illness may not see his normal workload.
