Raiders' Jacobs active for MNF vs. Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is active for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jacobs will return after missing the Raiders' previous two contests due to an ankle injury.

The Pro Bowl tailback was a limited participant in practice throughout the week and was listed as questionable heading into the prime-time matchup.

Jacobs last appeared in Las Vegas' season-opening victory over the Baltimore Ravens. He rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns in the 33-27 overtime win.

Las Vegas has split running duties between Peyton Barber and Kenyan Drake with Jacobs sidelined.

Jacobs will attempt to spark a Raiders offense that's averaging 91.3 rushing yards per game, and do it against a Chargers defense that allows a league-high 170 rushing yards per contest.
