Josh Jacobs - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Josh Jacobs 'taking it day-by-day' with injuries Packers RB Josh Jacobs spoke with the media on Wednesday to give an update on his health ahead of the matchup with the Ravens.

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.

Set for limited practice Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (knee) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs shed his questionable tag and was cleared to play through his nagging knee injury in this past Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears, but the Packers ended up managing his playing time more carefully than usual. Though Jacobs still earned 14 touches (accounting for 48 yards), Emanuel Wilson saw equal usage (14 carries for 82 yards) and outsnapped the former 33-28. On a positive note, Jacobs emerged from the game without any setbacks, which is supported by his presence on the field to kick off Week 17 prep. Jacobs will still have his reps managed Wednesday, but his limited session marks a step forward from his participation from last week, when he didn't practice in any fashion leading up to the matchup with the Bears. Jacobs should be ready to handle a heavier workload this Saturday versus the Ravens, barring any renewed soreness with his knee leading up to the contest.

Impact Jacobs logged only two offensive snaps after the aforementioned play, finishing with 14 touches for 48 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, Emanuel Wilson reeled off 82 yards on 14 carries. LaFleur's comments indicate Jacobs isn't any worse after the game than he was beforehand, but he also may be destined to show up on the Packers' Week 17 injury report, the first version of which will be posted Tuesday. In the end, the biggest question mark as the team prepares for next Saturday's contest against the Ravens is who will be under center, as No. 1 QB Jordan Love is in the concussion protocol, and Malik Willis is dealing with a right shoulder injury following Saturday's outing.

Quiet night in OT loss Jacobs (knee/ankle) rushed 12 times for 36 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Jacobs was active after not practicing all week, but the star running back didn't seem to be at full strength against a beatable Bears run defense. Jacobs' backfield mate Emanuel Wilson outpaced him by two carries and 56 rushing yards, and the former also had a very costly fumble at the Bears' three-yard line just past the halfway point of the third quarter. Jacobs didn't log another touch the rest of the game, but if healthy, he'll remain the top back in next Saturday night's Week 17 home matchup against the Ravens.

Suiting up Saturday Jacobs (knee/ankle) is listed as active Saturday at Chicago, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs didn't practice at all this week due to the knee injury that's been lingering since Week 11 and also an ankle issue, which combined to leave him questionable for Week 16 action. Following a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network that Jacobs was expected to suit up Saturday, the running back will be available to the Packers offense for a fourth straight game since suffering the initial health concern. In the first three, Jacobs handled more than a 50 percent snap share on each occasion and tallied 54 touches for 275 yards from scrimmage and three total TDs. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks (chest) also are on hand for RB reps this weekend.

Expected to play Saturday Jacobs (knee/ankle) is expected to take the field against Chicago on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jacobs didn't practice at all this week due to a pair of injuries and was considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup. It appears the veteran running back is going to give it a go in a contest that could go a long way toward determining the winner of the NFC North. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited in any way, but if he does indeed play, he should lead Green Bay's backfield ahead of No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson.
