• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Logs 104 total yards in debut

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs rushed 16 times for 84 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in a 34-29 loss to the Eagles on Friday. Jacobs started slowly, gaining just four yards on six carries in the first half. However, the Alabama product looked much more explosive after halftime, ripping off three runs of over 10 yards, including a 32-yarder early in the fourth period that helped set up a Green Bay field goal. It was an altogether promising first game as a Packer for Jacobs, who surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in three of his five campaigns with the Raiders.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Sits out final exhibition

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs (coach's decision) was held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens. Jacobs made a brief appearance in Green Bay's first exhibition contest, but the team opted to keep its new offensive weapon fresh ahead of Week 1. The 26-year-old barely reached 1,000 total yards from scrimmage in his final season with the Raiders, but his production was likely diminished due to poor offensive game planning combined with the lack of a legitimate passing offense to keep opposing defenses honest. That shouldn't be the case in Green Bay, as the Jordan Love era appears to be trending in the right direction in conjunction with the star running back's arrival. Jacobs should still be considered an early round asset in fantasy drafts as the kickoff of the 2024 season nears.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Sees brief action Saturday

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs gained seven yards on his only carry and caught his only target for a two-yard loss in Saturday's 23-10 preseason win over the Browns. The running back dealt with a minor groin injury earlier in the week, but Jacobs was healthy for the Packers' preseason opener and played one series before calling it a day. The former Raider has topped 1,100 scrimmage yards in each of his first five seasons in the NFL, but Green Bay's coaching staff has suggested Jacobs will be used a little more frequently as a receiver during his first season with his new club. Jacobs could see a bigger workload in next Sunday's preseason clash with the Broncos as he gets ready for Week 1.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: No limitations in practice

  08/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jacobs is participating in 11-on-11s at Tuesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Jacobs has quickly returned to full participation after a groin injury cost him a few practices last week and then limited his participation to individual drills for a few days thereafter. He's locked in atop the depth chart, ahead of veteran AJ Dillon and rookie third-round pick MarShawn Lloyd. Dillon took 21 of the 26 first-team snaps at Saturday's Family Night practice, with Lloyd handling the other five, per Justin Mosqueda of Acme Packing Co.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Participating in practice

  Jacobs (groin) is participating in Saturday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Jacobs ended up missing just two practices with a groin injury that the running back deemed was "just a tweak." Expect the veteran to continue pushing for a significant role in an offense that has featured the running back position often during Matt LaFleur's tenure as head coach.
