Raiders' Josh Jacobs' 6-year-old Son Called 911 During Grandfather's Heart Emergency

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs' six-year-old son Braxton called 911 after seeing his grandfather Marty in distress and very well may have saved his life.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Marty Jacobs was hospitalized Tuesday after his grandson called 911. Jacobs underwent emergency heart surgery the next day and remains in intensive care.

The Raiders running back flew to his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to be with his family and only returned to Las Vegas after receiving his father's blessing to play Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

He arrived back in Las Vegas late Friday evening and went through a pregame workout Saturday, per Steve Wyche of NFL Network.
