Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Totals seven stops on Thanksgiving
Rotowire
Jacobs recorded seven tackles (all solo), including one for loss, in Thursday's Week 12 loss to Green Bay.
Jacobs finished second on Detroit in tackles, one behind rookie Brian Branch. Jacobs' seven stops were his most since he tallied seven against the Falcons in Week 3. He's been a full-time starter throughout the campaign and has already set career-high marks with 47 tackles (43 solo) and three interceptions through 10 games.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Inactive for Week 7
Rotowire
Jacobs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
Jacobs will miss his first game of the season due to a knee injury. He was a limited participant at each practice during Week 7 prep, so there's a good chance he's facing just a one-game absence. In his stead, Brian Branch, Chase Lucas and Khalil Dorsey are candidates for increased snaps opposite Cameron Sutton.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Jacobs is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a knee injury.
It is unclear when Jacobs picked up the knee issue, but his status for Week 7 is up in the air as a result. If he does not get the green light, Chase Lucas and Brian Branch would be prime candidates to fill in opposite Cameron Sutton at corner. Still, more clarity on Jacobs' status is unlikely to come until closer to kickoff.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Logs season-high seven stops
Rotowire
Jacobs recorded seven tackles (five solo), one sack and one pass defensed during Sunday's 34-23 win over the Vikings.
Jacobs tied his previous career high with seven stops in Sunday's win over Minnesota, while he also played all but two defensive snaps for Detroit in the contest. With fellow cornerback Will Harris questionable for this weekend due to a hip issue, Jacobs could once again play a prominent role in the Lions' secondary Sunday versus the Jets.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Jacobs (knee) was designated to return from the PUP list and practiced Wednesday.
Jacobs started the campaign on the PUP list while he continued to rehab from a torn ACL, but he's returned to practice at the earliest possible time, which is encouraging for his availability moving forward. The second-year defensive back will have 21 days to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, he'll revert to the PUP list for the remainder of the campaign.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Staying on PUP list
Rotowire
Jacobs (knee) was moved to the regular-season PUP list Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Head coach Dan Campbell provided hope last week that Jacobs would avoid this given the progress Jacobs has made in his recovery from a torn ACL, but it turns out that will not be the case despite Jacobs being setback-free. Jacobs will thus miss at least the first four games of the regular season while Detroit moves forward with Will Harris and Chase Lucas as its top depth at cornerback behind presumed starters Amani Oruwariye, Jeff Okudah and Mike Hughes.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Getting up to speed
Rotowire
Jacobs (knee) was on the field for an offseason workout May 10, according to the Lions' official site.
Jacobs is bouncing back from a torn ACL he suffered last December. He'll be over seven months removed from surgery by the time training camp kicks off this summer, but it remains a strong possibility that he could miss games to start to the 2022 season. When healthy, Jacobs will compete for a rotational role at cornerback under Amani Oruwariye, Mike Hughes, Jeff Okudah (Achilles), and AJ Parker.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Diagnosed with ACL injury
Rotowire
Jacobs announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he suffered an ACL injury to his knee in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
The Lions haven't elaborated on the extent of Jacobs' knee issue, but the fact that he termed his injury as "a minor setback for a major comeback" suggests he suffered a season-ending ACL tear. If that's the case, Jacobs will likely be sent in for surgery in the coming days. The undrafted rookie had emerged as a key piece in the Detroit secondary, logging 34 tackles, seven pass breakups and a forced fumble across 13 games.

Rotowire
Jacobs (neck) didn't carry an injury designation on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Jacobs (groin) is questionable to return Sunday against the Steelers.
It remains to be seen if Jacobs will return to action in a game where the Lions have suffered several injuries. If he can't return to the gridiron, then Mark Gilbert or AJ Parker will be in line to see extended playing time.
