Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is not expected to play in Thursday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, NFL Network reported.

Jacobs did not practice throughout the week and was listed as questionable with a quadriceps injury.

A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Jacobs has 805 yards rushing and six touchdowns in 13 games this season. He also has 37 catches for 296 yards for the Raiders (5-8).

Jacobs, 25, was the NFL rushing champion in 2022 after he compiled 1,653 rushing yards on 340 touches (4.9 yards per attempt) and 12 touchdowns. He added 400 receiving yards to lead the league with 2,053 total yards from scrimmage.

In 73 games (72 starts) since the Raiders selected him in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Alabama, Jacobs has rushed for 5,545 yards and 46 touchdowns.

Running backs Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah likely will see an uptick in snaps against the Chargers (5-8) on Thursday.
