Overview
- The Packers said Jacobs missed at least a week of practice with a groin injury and sat out the preseason opener while doing rehab on a separate field.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Jacobs has resumed full-team practice, which the club views as a sign his recovery is on track for the regular season.
- Jacobs’ return lets him rebuild timing with quarterback Jordan Love and reduces short-term concerns about the team’s lead running back role.
- An active Brown County criminal inquiry and a separate NFL disciplinary review continue to hang over Jacobs and could affect his availability regardless of his health.
- The injury absence gave backups extra reps in camp, creating depth implications as the Packers trim their roster and making the outcome of the legal and league reviews the key near-term variable.
