Let go with injury settlement
The Rams waived Jacobs (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
A couple of years ago, it would be stunning to think that the undrafted Jacobs would outperform 2020 No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah. Entering 2023, Okudah has been traded to Atlanta for peanuts and Jacobs is not only set for a starting role but a contract extension, too. While Detroit did give Cameron Sutton a three-year, $33 million deal to come in as the No. 1 cornerback, Jacobs should be busy as well after his return to an every-down role in 2022 directly coincided with the Lions' stark second-half defensive improvement. The wild card is Emmanuel Moseley, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL and could push Jacobs for reps when healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Carolina
Jacobs will visit with the Panthers later this week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback spent the last three seasons with the Lions and started 12 games last year, recording three interceptions and 55 tackles in 15 regular-season contests. Jacobs could provide some depth for a Carolina secondary that has little experience at corner behind starters Jaycee Horn and Dane Jackson.
