#Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) is expected back after missing last week, source said. He’s nearly at full strength. Meanwhile, S Johnathan Abram (knee) should also be good to go.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday despite being listed as questionable entering the weekend.
Jacobs has been dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in the Raiders’ embarrassing loss against the Falcons in Week 12. He wound up missing the Week 13 win against the New York Jets but will seemingly make his return on Sunday for the game against the Colts.
Though he hasn’t been used like a three-down back, Jacobs has the skillset to carry the load for Las Vegas. The second-year back has 206 carries for 782 yards and nine rushing touchdowns.
The Colts have been stout against the run this season. They are allowing 3.8 yards per carry and 100.9 rushing yards per game.
The Colts and Raiders will release inactives an hour and a half before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.
