PackersJosh Jacobs a True Game-Time Decision for Week 7 vs. Cardinals

Green Bay prepared contingency plans, elevating Pierre Strong Jr. with Emanuel Wilson next up.

Overview

  • Jacobs’ status will be determined shortly before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff due to an illness and a late-week calf issue.
  • He was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday and logged a full session Friday before the calf designation kept him questionable.
  • NFL Network reported that Jacobs believes he can play, with the final call expected after a pregame evaluation.
  • The Packers elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad as insurance for the Arizona trip.
  • Emanuel Wilson is expected to start if Jacobs is inactive, with a near six-hour team flight delay further tightening Green Bay’s pregame window.
