He rushed 17 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for eight yards, totaling 18 touches and 91 scrimmage yards. Jacobs has now failed to score a touchdown in his last two appearances after being kept out of the end zone only once in the preceding 17 regular-season games.

The Commanders are expected to make a final ruling on his status on Friday, with Marcus Mariota set to start if Daniels remains sidelined.

Doubs now carries a season line of 45 receptions, 542 yards, and five touchdowns on 71 targets into a crucial Week 14 NFC North clash with the Bears.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday, marking his second consecutive missed session. He suffered a sprained MCL during the Week 12 loss to the Falcons, an injury that forced him to sit out the entire second half of that game.
