The Raiders have injury concerns for one of their best attacking players.
Josh Jacobs’ return with a hand injury is in doubt.
On the Prime Video broadcast, Jacobs was shown on the sidelines taping off his right pinky finger. Then Jacob’s glove was put back on and his ring finger and pinky were taped together.
Jacobs suffered the injury on a running play and went 15 yards for the second and 20 at 11:36 in the third quarter. It appeared Jacobs fumbled, but he was knocked out by contact.
Raiders training staff worked Jacobs on the touchline for a few minutes before Jacobs went to the dressing room for further examination.
He then returned to the touchline, which bodes well for his potential availability for next Las Vegas possession.
Jacobs carried the burden for Las Vegas’ offense on Thursday. He has 19 carries for 73 yards with a 1-yard touchdown. He also caught an 8-yard pass.
Zamir White was the only other running back in Las Vegas to take a carry Thursday and he has 9 yards on three tries.
UPDATED 10:25 p.m. ET: Jacobs returned to the game on the Raiders’ next possession. But his right hand is clearly in pain when he shook it after a 7-yard reception.
