It will definitely be tough sledding and I am not expecting a big game.
But you can't not play Jacobs if he's in.
Guy is super tough and plays well through injury. Just a really tough matchup and the Pats will be keyed on stopping him as the entire offense relies on Jacobs opening up other aspects of the game.

The Bills were stout up front yesterday, but Jacobs is too good to be bottled up like he was. That game script needs to include some screens to Jacobs to loosen things up.

Not sure why Gruden doesn’t run more screens. It’s a great play to make defenses cover all of the field

It makes no sense. Carr was locked in on his TE and trying to get Agolar the ball deep. Jacobs in the flat seemed like a no brainer given the lack of time Carr had in the pocket.

The lack of WR talent is showing up as well. Defenses can key on Jacobs and Waller all day.

Is it time to be concerned?

I have been concerned for a bit already.
And then he has some big boy tuns to finish that drive including the TD

Simple: He's extremely positive game script dependent and has to worry about two backs when not in that script. Also, how many times are the Raiders going to be in positive game script this year?

Not only was the weather terrible with rain and high winds, positive game script allowed him to feast even more.

Hopefully not long term...still going to try and grab Booker dropping my other 5th RB depth (Lindsay this week...gave up on Latavius...prior to QBs getting sat down in Denver...thinking long term and schedule for Denver vs. Kamara and Hill for NO taking so much work). Anyway...would rather have Booker possibly this week than most others out there. Gives me a play if Jacobs can't go (and have Rojo on bye).

Tbh, and I'm not trying to be insensitive here but, when I initially watched that run it looked like Jacobs was totally fine until he fumbled, and then he was embarrassed and knew that he shouldn't have fought for the extra yards when he was already wrapped up, or at least he should have protected the ball better if were determined to do so.
Every replay shows me the same thing too. I don't see the guy getting injured. I see him making a dumb error and then doing what many athletes do in the aftermath... blaming it on their body, rather than their mind.
I honestly think he's totally fine. He'll pretend to be limited this week and then look completely healthy in the game.

Unless they lighten his workload even though he's active. But like you said, IF he sits.

Seems like the tide keeps shifting on the news with Jacobs. First he escaped serious injury, just a ankle tweak. Looks as if he will start. Now not practicing being cautious to might be more serious and a lil more doubt creeps in. He'll most likely play, correct? I'm just looking at Booker with Connor on the shelf and Swift still lingering along with head discomfort and now with a cloud of doubt, and CMC / Davis on a bye means I may be in need of a RB 2 now. Gore, Booker. and perhaps K Johnson if Swift is out. Not a whole lot out there in the RB land. So, I'll throw a few dollars Booker's way, more dollars on Gore though. Unless we knew Booker is the clear cut 1. Even if Jacobs is set to play I imagine Booker will see an uptick.

Highly doubt he'll play this week. I'm actually surprised there was optimism after the scans - seemed like he got luck because IMO it looked really bad in real time. Still, I'd expect him to be ruled out well before the game, but if it isn't overly serious like they indicated a couple of days ago, Booker might only get a week as the starter.

As a Jacobs/Booker owner with a playoff spot locked up, and who is facing Jacobs in a different league where I need to win to get in, I REALLY hope he sits.
