Packers' Josh Jacobs: No injury designation
Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.The Green Bay Packers limited Jacobs' practice reps coming out of a bye week but never gave any indication he was in danger of missing Sunday's game. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks again will be the reserve options, as rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd was diagnosed Friday with appendicitis after missing the previous seven games due to a high-ankle sprain. Regardless, Jacobs is locked in as Green Bay's lead runner, averaging 17.6 carries for 84.7 yards per game, with three rushing TDs and a receiving TD in nine appearances.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Remains limited in practice
Josh Jacobs (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.Coming out of a bye, Jacobs is tending to a quad injury that has resulted in his reps being capped in the Green Bay Packers' first two Week 11 practices. Head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't yet indicated that the quad issue is anything that will threaten Jacobs' availability for Sunday's game against the Bears, but the running back may need to put in a full practice Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Used sparingly in second half
Josh Jacobs rushed the ball 13 times for 95 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.Jacobs was the driving force behind the Green Bay Packers' offense in the first two quarters, as he picked up 89 yards on 10 carries prior to halftime. He had long gains of 37 and 13 yards, the latter of which came on the team's opening scoring drive. However, he tallied only three carries in the second half as Green Bay attempted to come back from a 17-3 deficit, leading to more involvement for Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson. Jacobs remains the clear lead back in the offense, though Sunday's usage was concerning for him if the Packers fall behind in contests moving forward.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Likely to suit up Sunday

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Questionable for Week 9
Josh Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.Jacobs was injured late in the fourth quarter of last week's 30-27 win over the Jaguars and then missed practice Wednesday. He returned Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, giving him a decent shot to be active ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. The Green Bay Packers have Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as alternatives if Jacobs is absent or limited, with Wilson having handled most of the backup work this season but Brooks getting more involved Week 8 against Jacksonville (22 percent snap share and five touches for 16 yards, while Wilson took 18 percent snap share and six touches for three yards).

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Turns in limited practice
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Josh Jacobs (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.Coming off a Week 8 win over the Jaguars in which he took on 26 touches -- his second-highest total of the season -- Jacobs has been subject to a lighter workload in practice this week. He sat out Wednesday's practice due to what the Packers termed as an ankle issue, though Jacobs suggested that the injury is a minor concern that won't keep him from playing in a critical divisional matchup with the Lions this Sunday. Jacobs' ability to take some reps Thursday offers further encouragement on that front, and if cleared to play against the Lions, the Packers could continue to lean heavily on the veteran running back. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) was forced out of the Week 8 win and could be in danger of sitting out against the Lions, which could prompt the Packers to lean on a more run-heavy game plan led by Jacobs if Malik Willis ends up stepping in for Love as the team's starting signal-caller.

As such, Jacobs didn't practice Wednesday, but he also relayed that he intends to suit up Sunday versus the Lions. Thursday's practice report will reveal how much work he was able to handle.
