Jacobs (hand/quadriceps), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, plans to play in the contest, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
The running back, who was limited in practice this past week, injured his right pinkie finger during the Raiders' Week 14 loss to the Rams. Assuming he's active ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Jacobs said that his plan to manage the pinkie issue is to "probably cast it a little bit, wrap it up and then see how it goes from there." To date, Jacobs has maintained a high-volume role while leading the Raiders' backfield, and he'll likely take on as much work as he can handle Sunday, with his potential workload hinging on how his finger responds to in-game contact. If Jacobs ends up limited at all or suffers any setbacks versus New England, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White would be candidates to log added snaps.
