PackersJosh Jacobs a Game-Time Decision After Knee Contusion

Team testing showed no structural damage, making a short absence the likeliest outcome pending pregame evaluation.

Overview

  • Jacobs practiced Thursday in a limited capacity after sitting out Wednesday, with swelling down roughly 50–60% as he works to regain full range of motion.
  • He characterized his status for Sunday vs. the Vikings as a true game-time call.
  • Jacobs said the worst-case scenario is missing Sunday and returning for the Thanksgiving matchup in Detroit.
  • Coach Matt LaFleur and the medical staff are taking a day-to-day approach, weighing the quick Sunday-to-Thursday turnaround.
  • If Jacobs is inactive, Emanuel Wilson is expected to handle lead back duties with Chris Brooks in support, and Jacobs publicly criticized MetLife Stadium’s surface after the injury.
