Packers Hold Josh Jacobs Out Wednesday, List RB Day to Day With Knee Contusion

A Friday injury designation will clarify his status for the Vikings after the team labeled him day to day.

Overview

  • Coach Matt LaFleur said Josh Jacobs would not practice Wednesday and described his status as "truly day to day."
  • Jacobs exited Sunday’s win at MetLife Stadium with a knee contusion, and multiple reports have characterized the injury as not season-ending.
  • The Packers have not ruled him out for Sunday against the Vikings at Lambeau Field, with a final decision expected later in the week.
  • Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks took backfield reps in practice, and practice-squad runner Pierre Strong Jr. is a likely elevation if Jacobs cannot go.
  • MarShawn Lloyd and Jayden Reed will not open their 21-day IR practice windows this week, and some analysts suggest Green Bay could rest Jacobs given a quick turnaround to Thanksgiving in Detroit.
