From today's WP:

Nine players likely will not travel to Cincinnati for tomorrow night's game. Among them is wide receiver Taylor Jacobs.

Being inactive for an exhibition game hurts a player's chance to make the team, even for a fourth-year player such as Jacobs, who faces major competition at his position.

"It's not in my hands," Jacobs said. "I ran hard in practice."

Jacobs acknowledged that the difficult job of making the Redskins' roster has grown more difficult with this latest injury.

"I know it's going to be tough to make it here," he said. "I know I have the talent, it's just a question of getting the ball a little bit more."
