Josh Jacobs quad injury: Raiders-Chargers clash in danger

"Raiders' Josh Jacobs may not play Thursday, NFL insider says. Both teams face must-win situation. Kickoff at 8:15 PM EST."

The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up for a crucial showdown on Thursday night, with both teams in desperate need of a win. The Raiders' star running back, Josh Jacobs, is facing uncertainty as he deals with a quad injury. NFL insider Ian Rapoport has reported that Jacobs' status for the game is "very much in doubt" after missing practice this week.

The Raiders have not yet ruled out the possibility of Jacobs playing, but they are wary of risking further injury to their key player. With Jacobs' status up in the air, the Raiders' offense is facing potential trouble as they prepare to take on the Chargers.

Jacobs has been a pivotal part of the Raiders' offense this season, with 805 rushing yards and six touchdowns to his name. His absence would be a significant blow to the team, but they will need to find a way to adapt and find success against the Chargers' defense, which has its own injury concerns.

On the other side, the Chargers will be without star wide receiver Keenan Allen, who has been ruled out with an injury. Quarterback Justin Herbert is also sidelined for LA, adding to the challenges both teams are facing as they head into this crucial matchup.

As kickoff approaches, both teams are navigating a myriad of injury concerns and uncertainties. The game is set to be a test of depth and resilience for both the Raiders and the Chargers. Kickoff for Thursday's game is scheduled for 8:15 PM EST, and updates on Josh Jacobs' injury status will be provided as they become available.
