Packers Activate Josh Jacobs Ahead of Week 7 Return

The move gives Green Bay a proven rushing option to address its league-worst ground game during an ongoing NFL conduct review.

Overview

  • The Packers activated Josh Jacobs on Saturday, Oct. 24, and he is expected to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
  • Jacobs was removed from the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List on Oct. 19 and practiced under a one-game roster exemption that kept him from counting against the active roster.
  • He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage charges on Oct. 10, and court fights over police records and surveillance video remain unresolved.
  • Green Bay ranks last in rushing yards per game, and Jacobs’ recent seasons of high production make him the likeliest candidate to improve the ground attack even though the team has not confirmed his snap or carry total.
  • The Packers also activated DT Jordon Riley, signed receiver Coleman Owen and elevated edge rusher Arron Mosby, and the NFL’s open conduct review means further discipline or penalties could still affect Jacobs’ availability later.
