HENDERSON, Nev. -- There is always a fine line between rest and rust, and when it comes to All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs, he's ready to run through it come Sunday's season opener at the Denver Broncos (4:25 p.m. ET, Empower Field at Mile High, CBS).
Especially since he sat out the entirety of the Las Vegas Raiders' offseason program, training camp and exhibition season in a contact stalemate and has yet to take an angry hit in pads, returning to the team Aug. 26 and only going through a few practices since.
