HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders’ decision not to exercise the fifth-year option on Josh Jacobs’ contract is fueling the running back heading into the new season. He acknowledges feeling added pressure entering training camp. But he says he has welcomed the added competition, with six backs vying for spots on the final roster. Jacobs leads all rushers drafted since 2019 with 3,087 yards on the ground. He’s also caught 107 passes for 752 yards.
