Josh Jacobs - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Stymied by Bears in playoff loss Jacobs rushed 19 times for 55 yards and brought in one of three targets for one yard in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also committed a fumble recov...

Impact After getting Week 18 off for rest, Jacobs came into Saturday's postseason matchup refreshed, but a Bears defense that had been vulnerable to the run at times was highly effective in cutting off his running lanes. Jacobs' long run of the night went for a modest 13 yards, meaning he netted just 42 yards on his other 18 carries. Jacobs had a quiet finish to the regular season as well since he generated just a 16-39-0 rushing line in his last two contests, and he finished the 2025 campaign having amassed 929 rushing yards (4.0 yards per carry) and adding a 36-282-1 line on 44 targets and three fumbles (two lost) across 15 games.

Feeling close to normal Jacobs said Wednesday that he's feeling the best he has since he suffered a knee contusion Week 11 at the Giants, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs sat out a Week 12 win against the Giants, but he was able to suit up for the ensuing five games, more or less handling his normal workload Weeks 13-16 before earning just four touches Week 17 versus the Ravens and then being a healthy scratch this past Sunday at Minnesota. He's avoided the Packers' practice report entirely this week, setting him up for his typical workload for Saturday's wild-card game in Chicago. Prior to the aforementioned injury, Jacobs averaged 21.1 touches per game over the first nine contests of the campaign.

Avoids injury report entirely Jacobs (knee) is not listed on Tuesday's injury report ahead of Saturday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Chicago.

Impact Jacobs had been listed on Green Bay's injury report since suffering a knee injury back in Week 11 on Nov. 16, per Zach Kruse of USA Today. He aggravated the injury multiple times since it was initially sustained, but Jacobs now finally appears back to full health after having been allowed to rest Week 18. Jacobs' injury caused lingering pain and inhibited his range of motion, but the workhorse running back is back to 100 percent form in time for a must-win game against a Bears defense that allowed an average of 4.84 yards per carry to opponents over the course of the regular season, the fourth-worst mark in the NFL.

Healthy scratch Sunday Jacobs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs was limited in practice during the entirety of Week 18 prep due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, but Green Bay didn't tag him with a designation on Friday's practice report. Despite technically being well enough to play, the team will rest him with the playoffs in mind. In Jacobs' stead, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks will man the Packers backfield Sunday. Meanwhile, Jacobs' next chance for game action is poised to occur in the wild-card round next weekend.

Cleared to play, workload uncertain Jacobs (knee/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Jacobs may or may not actually play, with the Packers holding out QB Jordan Love (and potentially other starters) in preparation for the playoffs. He's 71 rushing yards away from reaching 1,000 for the season, but it's a big ask against a tough Minnesota defense with Clayton Tune under center for Green Bay.

Limited again Thursday Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Jacobs has been battling lower-body injuries since he sustained a knee injury Week 11 at the Giants. He sat out Week 12 against the Vikings as a result, but he's suited up for each of the last five contests, totaling 73 touches during that span. Jacobs actually ranked third among Packers RBs in offensive snaps (13) behind Chris Brooks (21) and Emanuel Wilson (17) in Week 17, and with the team locked in to the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs could find himself inactive Sunday at Minnesota to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

Limited Wednesday Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

Impact Despite heading into the Packers' Week 17 matchup with the Ravens without a designation, Jacobs played the third-most offensive snaps (13) among Green Bay running backs behind Chris Brooks' 21 and Emanuel Wilson's 17. The result was Jacobs' least productive game of the season (five touches for three total yards). Coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that some starters won't play Sunday in Minnesota, and with the Packers locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs may be among those players to ensure he's as healthy as possible for the wild-card round.

Minimal role in blowout loss Jacobs rushed the ball four times for three yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens. He added one reception on one target for zero yards.

Impact Jacobs appeared to be trending in a positive direction in his recovery from knee and ankle injuries after being removed from the injury report Thursday. However, his usage in Saturday's loss suggests he still isn't fully healthy, as he was limited to only five total touches -- the last of which came early in the third quarter. Game script likely also impacted Jacobs' usage, but the Packers could opt to rest him in Week 18, given that they have been eliminated from contention to win the NFC North but are still locked into a playoff position.

Set to play Saturday Jacobs (knee/ankle) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs followed up Tuesday's limited walkthrough with back-to-back limited sessions to cap Week 17 prep as he tends to dueling knee and ankle injuries, but the activity was enough for him to be cleared ahead of the weekend. Such a development would seem to pave the way for him to handle his normal workload of 18.9 touches per game, but Emanuel Wilson will be on hand in the event Jacobs needs a breather or otherwise suffers an aggravation of an existing health concern.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • PACKERS.COM

Another limited session Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jacobs has been playing through lingering knee and ankle injuries since Week 11 at the Giants, with his most recent outing this past Saturday in Chicago resulting in 14 touches for 48 yards from scrimmage on a 39 percent snap share. He also logged just two plays on offense after his lost fumble in the third quarter, which resulted in No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson turning 14 carries into 82 yards on 46 percent of the snaps. Wilson would stand to benefit again Saturday against the Ravens if Jacobs is inhibited or even sidelined for that contest.
