Brown (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Brown delivered a major Week 1 impact with physical blocking in the running game in addition to 67 receiving yards, and he's trending towards suiting up in Week 2 with this upgrade to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. If Brown plays, he'll likely continue to split tight end reps with Jordan Akins.

Jacobs (toe/ankle) won't play in Week 2 against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs looked noticeably hobbled at times in Monday's win over the Ravens but still managed to rumble for two touchdowns. Rather than continue to gut it out, Jacobs will get a week off to heal in hopes of returning closer to full health before the Raiders host the Dolphins in Week 3. Kenyan Drake could be in line for a three-down role Sunday, with Peyton Barber spelling him on early downs and the possibility of a Trey Ragas sighting or two.

Jacobs (toe/ankle) wasn't spotted at the start of Friday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: We'll circle back on Jacobs' status once his official Week 2 injury designation is revealed, but if he's out or limited Sunday against the Steelers, Kenyan Drake would be in line to see added opportunities in the Raiders' backfield, with Peyton Barber (and perhaps Trey Ragas) also in the mix.

Brown (shoulder/ankle) was present for practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Wilson suggests that there didn't seem to be any serious concern that the tight end might miss Sunday's game against Cleveland, and Brown's presence at practice Friday supports that notion. The Texans' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with any sort of injury designation.

Richard (foot) recently has his cast removed, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Richard was placed on injured reserve with the foot injury Sept. 2 and is now out of the cast two weeks later. The 27-year-old will be eligible to return following Week 3, though it's unclear if he's expected to be fully healthy by that point.
