News: 14 hours agoPackers coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.

Spin: Jacobs was removed from the exempt list Monday, and all signs point to the veteran running back making his 2026 season debut against Detroit. Green Bay's backfield production has been abysmal through six weeks, so Jacobs' return can only help the situation. Jordan Love's incredible pass volume could also take a hit with Jacobs returning to the lineup.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jacobs' 2025 season can be split in two parts: pre-injury and post-injury. While healthy during his first nine games, Jacobs picked up where he left off from a terrific 2024 debut season with Green Bay, averaging 21.1 touches and 19.6 fantasy points while scoring 11 TDs. After missing all but 11 snaps during Weeks 11 and 12, Jacobs returned and wasn't quite the same, averaging 14.6 touches and 11.3 points while totaling three touchdowns in his final five games. But Jacobs, 28, was still effective overall (PFF's fourth-highest-graded back) and has a clear grasp on lead-back duties in a good Green Bay offense that has afforded him 30 touchdowns (fifth most in the NFL) in 32 games. He's a fine back-end RB1 when active, but a likely suspension makes him less valuable on draft day.He's worth a mid-round flier until the dust settles.
