Jerry Jacobs: Works out with Colts
The Colts worked out Jacobs (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jacobs was previously let go by the Rams with an injury settlement in late August, but following his workout with the Colts, it appears he's moved past the undisclosed issue. The Arkansas product appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Lions in 2023, recording 55 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions.

Jerry Jacobs: Let go with injury settlement
The Rams waived Jacobs (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jacobs did not suit up for the Rams' preseason game against the Chargers on Saturday. He played in 15 regular-season games with the Lions in 2023, finishing the season with a career-high 55 tackles (49 solo), eight passes defended and three interceptions. Once healthy, Jacobs will look to catch on with a team in need of depth in the secondary.

Rams' Jerry Jacobs: Signs, practices with Rams
The Rams officially signed Jacobs on Saturday, Nick Hamilton of SiriusXM reports.
Jacobs' signing comes in the wake of Derion Kendrick's season-ending ACL tear and Darious Williams' hamstring strain. Jacobs practiced with the Rams on Saturday, per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, so he appears to be clear of the hamstring injury that caused him to finish last year on injured reserve. If Williams is unable to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Jacobs may need to step in to start.

Jerry Jacobs: Plans to sign with Rams
The Rams plan to sign Jacobs (hamstring), Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Jacobs racked up a career-high 55 tackles with Detroit in 2023, but he struggled in coverage and was ultimately non-tendered by the Lions back in March. Now he'll join a Rams team that just lost promising young corner Derion Kendrick for the entire upcoming year to a torn ACL.

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.
