• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Still dealing with back issue

  3H ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Jacobs continues to tend to the health concern that capped his on-field reps all of last week, but it didn't stop him from pacing a run-heavy game plan this past Sunday against the Colts, when he tallied 32 carries for 151 yards. With MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) joining AJ Dillon (neck) on injured reserve this week, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the healthy RBs on Green Bay's active roster. In the end, though, Jacobs will remain the team's bell-cow back as long as he's able to suit up on game days.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Limited Wednesday

  4H ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs (undisclosed) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. It's unclear if Jacobs is dealing with the back injury that limited in practice all of last week, but it's not surprising that he's dealing with some wear and tear in the wake of handling 32 carries for 151 yards in the past Sunday's win against the Colts. Jacobs' health concern will be revealed once the Packers post their first Week 3 injury report later Wednesday.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Spearheads offense in Week 2 win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs rushed 32 times for 151 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. The offseason acquisition took on a signature workhorse role in the victory, shouldering a massive amount of volume in the absence of Jordan Love (knee). Jacobs' ability to consistently rip off productive gains -- his longest run was a relatively modest 34 yards -- helped protect Malik Willis in his first Packers start, and Green Bay's defense did its part to keep the game script favorable for the ground attack with three interceptions and a sack of Anthony Richardson. Jacobs' lack of a pass-game role Sunday was about the only blemish on his otherwise fantasy-friendly afternoon, and he'll aim to extend the hot start to his team tenure against the Titans on the road in Week 3.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Cleared for Week 2

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis. Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after playing 72 percent of snaps and taking 18 touches for 104 yards from scrimmage in the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. He could be even more emphasized in Green Bay's offense if QB Jordan Love (questionable, MCL sprain) ends up inactive this Sunday, but that might also lead to fewer scoring opportunities for the team and less defensive focus on stopping passes.

• Packers' Josh Jacobs: Another limited practice

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Jacobs (back) practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Jacobs has kicked off Week 2 prep with consecutive capped sessions due to a back issue, but there's been no indication that his status for Sunday's game against the Colts is in question. Still, his activity level will continue to be monitored, and his listing on Friday's practice report will be key for his odds to suit up this weekend. Assuming he's available, Jacobs could see heavy usage due to the fact that Jordan Love may not be able to play due to the MCL sprain that he suffered in the season opener.
