Packers List Josh Jacobs as True Game-Time Decision as Pierre Strong Jr. Is Elevated

A pregame call on his availability has Green Bay bracing for a reshuffled backfield.

Overview

  • ESPN and NFL Network reported the team will not know Jacobs’ status until shortly before kickoff against Arizona.
  • Green Bay elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad Saturday to cover late uncertainty.
  • If Jacobs is inactive, Emanuel Wilson is expected to start at running back, per reporting from Adam Schefter.
  • Cornerback Keisean Nixon was added to the injury report with an illness and is listed as questionable.
  • The Packers’ flight to Phoenix was delayed nearly six hours, shortening on-site preparation before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
