Although Raider Nation has hopes of Josh Jacobs returning to defend his rushing title, that may not be how the situation plays out. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the reality is the Silver and Black may be without their All-Pro running back – potentially for good. Is that something the Raiders are prepared for?
