[The expectation was that this would be Jacobs's breakout season, and he entered training camp third on the depth chart. It remains to be seen whether he will even be healthy enough to enter Week 1 on the active roster, and the 24-year-old is desperate to return to practice next week.] It's kind of rough going, ... People are saying, 'Hallelujah, Taylor Jacobs is hurt, here we go again.' I just try to use the good times against the bad. |
He's a guy that when, everyone else is getting tired or saying 'We don't feel like going out there today,' he really motivates us. When he's out at practice, he's flying around any time he gets a chance. He's really detail-oriented. |
I just made a cut inside and messed it up, ... I don't know what happened. I just heard a pop. I don't know what's wrong with it. It's just too swollen to tell. |
I see myself being available if they choose to activate me. |
I tried my best. I looked at the tape and I played hard. I went after everything I could as hard as I could. |
It just goes to show you, you really can't get drunk off praise. You go from fighting for a starting job to at the bottom of the [depth chart] again. It's frustrating, it's tough, but I can't really control it. I just had another unfortunate injury and you just have to keep fighting. |
It was in the back of my mind. I'm not arrogant or anything, but I know I have the talent. I know that I can play. Whenever I get the chance, and I can just stay healthy, it's a matter of time. |
We can't really control that. We have to do what coach says to do. We just need to capitalize on all of our opportunities, but that's something that's really not in our hands. |
