Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is set to miss several weeks of the 2026 NFL season due to injury, according to a report from USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.
The news was reported by Andrew Harbaugh of USA TODAY Sports on November 11, 2026. Specific details regarding the nature of Jacobs' injury and an exact timeline for his return were not immediately disclosed in the initial report.
Jacobs, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and the 2022 NFL rushing champion, serves as the centerpiece of the Raiders' ground attack. His absence will significantly impact Las Vegas' offensive strategy as the team navigates a critical stretch of the season.
The Raiders' coaching staff will likely turn to their backup running backs to shoulder the workload during Jacobs' absence. Further updates on his condition and potential return date are expected in the coming days as the team releases official injury reports.
