Silver Minings: Sean Payton preparing for full dose of Josh Jacobs

One of the big questions surrounding the Las Vegas Raider Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos (-4)

is how much the Raiders will lean on running back Josh Jacobs.

Last season, Jacobs led the NFL in total touches with 393, over 23 per game. However, he missed all of training camp after he and the organization couldn’t come to terms on a long-term contract. That’s led many people to believe his workload will be lightened in 2023, at least at the beginning of the campaign as he works to get into playing shape.
