The Las Vegas Raiders are well into training camp and star running back Josh Jacobs is staying away and there is a chance his protest over not getting a contract extension could linger.
There have been reports that Jacobs’ could stay way from the team until the regular season, which begins September 10 at the Denver Broncos.
This is the Raiders’ first high-profile contract squabble since 2018 when their star pass-rusher Khalil Mack held out all offseason (Jacobs stayed away from OTAs and the minicamp as well this year) and Mack held out until he was traded to the Chicago Bears, for a massive draft pick package eight days before the regular season began.
