The Oakland Raiders enter their Week 17 matchup with the Denver Broncos needing a miracle. And unfortunately, that miracle will need to be accomplished without star running back Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs has missed two of the Raiders’ last three games with a shoulder injury and despite most expecting the team to shut him down for the season, the rookie still managed to play in Week 15.
But on top of the shoulder injury, Jacobs ran into some more misfortune this week.
The 2019 first-round pick underwent surgery to remove a skin infection on Wednesday night which initially put his status for Sunday in doubt.
