Starting Saturday Jacob (lower leg) is in the starting lineup for the weekend's duel against Montreal.

Impact Jacob is back with the team after a two-game absence, potentially racking up crosses and defensive production as a right-back. His inclusion will lead Matt Edwards to the bench, which might remain the case for the rest of the season as long as Jacob stays fit. The versatile man has assisted once this year while standing out for his averages of 2.8 crosses and 2.8 tackles per game.

Out against Toronto Jacob (lower leg) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Toronto.

Impact Jacob has been unable to recover in time for the weekend, with his absence from group training since before the midweek match against New England leaving the coaching staff with no option but to keep him sidelined. Ronald Hernandez and Matt Edwards will continue to compete for the right-back role in his place, with the coaching staff forced to manage without their first-choice option for another fixture. His return timeline remains unclear, and his situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as the club hopes his absence does not extend further into the campaign.

Two crosses Saturday Jacob registered two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus the San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Jacob is looking to have a starting role in his first season with Atlanta, now starting and playing the full 90 in both games to open the campaign. He will look to see a goal contribution soon, although he is more of a defensive option, with only one in 14 appearances last season with Club Necaxa.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Atlanta Jacob has completed a transfer to Atlanta from Club Necaxa, according to his new club.

Impact Jacob is remaining in North America for his next move but is out of Mexico, moving to MLS play after inking a deal with Atlanta through the 2028/29 season, with options through the 2030/31 seasons. This comes after starting in 12 of his 15 appearances during the Apertura 2025 season, earning one goal in his time on the field. He joins as a versatile option between the defense and midfield, likely to bid for time in the Atlanta team immediately after a rough 2025 campaign.
