  • Jerry Jacobs: Becoming free agent

    Detroit will not tender Jacobs (hamstring), who will now become a free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Jacobs played nearly every defensive snap for the Lions in 2023 before going down with a hamstring injury in Week 15, but it now looks like he might be playing in a different uniform in 2024. He'll likely draw the interest of multiple teams as the offseason progresses.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Expected back for regular season

    Head coach Dan Campbell indicated Tuesday that Jacobs (hamstring) should be ready to get back on the field at some point during the preseason, Jeff Risdon of WMAX-FM reports.

    The cornerback was unavailable for Detroit's postseason run after injuring his hamstring in Week 15 against Denver, playing just one snap on defense the rest of the way. Jacobs was nearly an every-down player prior to getting hurt, albeit for a Lions defense that was much weaker against the pass than the run in 2023. While he's set to become a restricted free agent, it sounds like Campbell expects Jacobs to still be on the Lions' roster in 2024.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Shifts to IR

    Jacobs (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    The 26-year-old had already been ruled out for Detroit's wild-card affair due to a hamstring injury, but it now seems as if issue will hold him out for the remainder of the season. With Jacobs going on IR, Steven Gilmore and Khalil Dorsey could both see increased work in the Lions' secondary.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Won't play in wild-card round

    Jacobs (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Jacobs logged back-to-back DNPs to end Detroit's week of practice, so it's no surprise that the 26-year-old has been ruled out for Sunday's affair. In Jacobs' absence, Steven Gilmore could see increased work as a rotational cornerback in the Lions' secondary.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Deemed FP for Tuesday's walk-through

    Jacobs (hamstring) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice walk-through, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Jacobs missed Sunday's Week 16 win over Minnesota due to a hamstring issue, and he was unable to practice at all last week. However, the third-year cornerback's estimated full participation Tuesday suggests that he's shown significant improvement. Detroit plays Dallas on Saturday, and Jacobs will likely be able to return for that contest as long as he doesn't have any setbacks.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Won't play Week 16

    Jacobs (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Jacobs sustained a hamstring injury during the Lions' Week 15 win over the Broncos, and he was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. With Jacobs missing his second game of the season Week 16, expect Steven Gilmore to see increased snaps in Detroit's secondary.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Held out of practice Wednesday

    Jacobs (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Jacobs exited in the second half of Saturday's game against Denver due to a hamstring injury and didn't return. The severity of the issue is unclear, but his status for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings is in doubt given his inability to practice Wednesday. Prior to his exit Saturday, it appeared Jacobs had lost his starting role, as all 13 of his snaps were on special teams. Khalil Dorsey started in Jacobs' place Saturday and performed well, so he is likely to continue working in that role regardless of Jacobs' status for Week 16.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Totals seven stops on Thanksgiving

    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: Manages full practice Thursday

    Jacobs (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    After sitting out in Week 7 at Baltimore, Jacobs appears to be on track to suit up Monday versus Las Vegas. He should immediately step back in as one of Detroit's top cover corners opposite Cameron Sutton.

  • Lions' Jerry Jacobs: Inactive for Week 7

    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

    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.
