Remains limited Thursday Jacobs (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Jacobs continues to deal with a lingering bone bruise in his knee that sidelined him Week 12 against the Vikings, but he returned last Thursday at Detroit and reeled off 91 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. Friday's injury report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's showdown with the Bears or cleared for action entirely.

Limited Wednesday Jacobs (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs missed the Packers' Week 12 win against the Vikings due to a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he was able to return to action for last Thursday's victory at Detroit and paced the backfield in the process, taking 17 carries for 83 yards and catching his only target for eight yards. The aforementioned knee issue continues to linger, but there's been no indication that he's in any danger of being absent Sunday versus the Bears.

Racks up 18 touches in return Jacobs rushed 17 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Impact Jacobs reclaimed the lead role in the backfield in his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. Emanuel Wilson had four carries and Chris Brooks drew two targets, as Green Bay's backup running backs saw sparse usage. Jacobs has failed to score a touchdown in each of his last two appearances after being kept out of the end zone only once in the preceding 17 regular-season games. He'll look to end this brief scoring drought in Week 14 against the Bears.

Ready for Thursday's game Jacobs (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Lions.

Impact Jacobs suffered a bone bruise in his knee early during Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 and was forced to sit out the team's win over the Vikings in Week 12, but he'll take the field for Thanksgiving Day's road divisional showdown against Detroit. The fact that Jacobs has avoided an injury designation entirely bodes well for his odds of immediately returning to his usual workhorse role versus the Lions, leaving Emanuel Wilson in position to revert to a complementary No. 2 gig.

Expected to return Thursday Jacobs (knee) is expected to suit up for Thursday's road divisional matchup against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jacobs sat out Week 12 while managing a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he's now been listed as a limited participant on four consecutive injury reports and is trending in the right direction for Thanksgiving Day. While Jacobs seems likely to receive an official injury designation for Week 13 unless he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Wednesday, the bellow running back is expected to be available versus Detroit. If Jacobs does carry an injury designation, though, his status may not be made official until roughly 90 minutes before Thursday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Stays limited Tuesday Jacobs (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Jacobs has now been listed as limited on four straight injury reports while he manages a bone bruise in his knee as well as a thigh contusion. After sitting out this past Sunday's 23-6 win over the Vikings, Jacobs likely has better odds of suiting up for a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Lions, but he won't be helped by the shorter turnaround for the Week 13 contest. The Packers will reveal whether Jacobs carries an injury designation into Thursday's game when they release their final injury report of the week Wednesday.

Estimated as limited participant Jacobs (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs managed to close Week 12 out with back-to-back limited practices but was nonetheless made inactive for Green Bay's win over the Vikings on Sunday, paving the way for Emanuel Wilson to impress with 100-plus rushing yards and two scores. Now, Jacobs will have two more chances to upgrade his activity level ahead of Thursday's road divisional matchup against the Lions. In the event that Jacobs is unavailable to play Thanksgiving Day, Wilson will stand to lead Green Bay's backfield again.
