Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Cleared to play Thursday

Jacobs (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs approached Week 14 action listed as questionable, but he suited up and played 29 of the Raiders' 68 offensive snaps in the team's loss to the Colts, carrying 13 times for 49 yards and catching three of his five targets for 25 yards in the process. Though he was listed as a limited practice participant this week, Jacobs has been cleared to play Thursday and will once again head the Raiders backfield against a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of 120 rushing yards per game.
