Jacobs rushed the ball 12 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' status for this matchup looked to be in doubt for much of the week, as he didn't take the practice field until Friday due to a knee injury. However, he popped for several big plays against the Broncos, including a 40-yard rushing touchdown and an impressive 14-yard score on a contested catch in the corner of the end zone. After being reliant upon touchdowns and volume for long stretches early in the season, Jacobs has recorded a gain of at least 20 yards on the ground in three straight contests. He also has at least 70 rushing yards in five of his last six games.

Jacobs (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs has been tending to a knee injury since he sustained it during a Week 11 win at the Giants, sitting out Week 12 but leading the Packers backfield the last two games. He then experienced renewed stiffness and swelling in the knee in the wake of last Sunday's victory against the Bears, sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. Despite Jacobs being tagged as questionable entering the weekend, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that he was expected to play Week 15, which has been confirmed. With No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson dealing with an illness but still active Sunday, Jacobs should be Green Bay's primary option out of the backfield, while Chris Brooks also is on hand for snaps.

Jacobs, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos due to a knee issue, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs missed Week 12 due to the same injury, but he was able to play through the issue each of the past two weeks. It appears he'll do the same Sunday despite logging a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week and reportedly dealing with increased swelling. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited in any way as a result of the balky knee, and as it is, he doesn't have a great matchup -- Denver is tied for fourth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed to running backs through 13 games.

Jacobs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

It's the same knee injury that held Jacobs out for Week 12, with reports suggesting he was bothered by increased swelling in the aftermath of a Week 14 win over Chicago. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but returned to limited participation Friday, setting up a potential game-day decision ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Fellow Packers running back Emanuel Wilson becomes an attractive lineup option if Jacobs ends up inactive, having taken 28 carries for 107 yards and two TDs when Jacobs missed the Week 12 win over Minnesota.

Jacobs (knee) returned to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur already told reporters that Jacobs would be a limited participant. The running back didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but LaFleur said Friday that Jacobs is"feeling pretty good" ahead of Sunday's matchup in Denver. If Jacobs run into any issues during Friday's session, Emanuel Wilson will step in as the lead back, just as he did in Week 12 when Jacobs missed a game due to the same knee injury. Jacobs came out of Week 14 with swelling in the knee, which led to practice absences Wednesday and Thursday.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (knee) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. "We'll see how he's feeling. Talking to him, it sounds like he's feeling pretty good," LaFleur said of Jacobs.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs experienced renewed stiffness and swelling in his knee during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears, and though a follow-up MRI on Monday revealed nothing overly concerning, the running back was still held out of the Packers' first two Week 15 practices. LaFleur noted that Jacobs is feeling better Friday and will attempt to get in some on-field work in the Packers' last session of the week, and the coaching and training staffs will then wait and see how Jacobs responds to the workout before gauging his availability for Sunday's game in Denver. Jacobs appears likely to be listed as questionable for the contest when Green Bay issues its final Week 15 injury report later Friday.

Jacobs didn't practice Thursday but said afterward that his injured knee is structurally sound, and he considers himself day-to-day as Sunday's game in Denver approaches, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings due to the knee injury, Jacobs returned to action for both of the team's ensuing two games and handled his typical workloads in both contests. However, Jacobs noted that the knee stiffened up on him in this past Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears, prompting the Packers to send him in for an MRI on Monday. Though the scan revealed nothing concerning, the Packers have nonetheless held Jacobs out for both of their first two Week 15 practices, which puts a cloud over his status for Sunday. Jacobs would likely assuage some of the concern about his availability for the weekend by practicing Friday, even if only in a limited capacity. In the event Jacobs is forced to miss his second game of the season, Emanuel Wilson would likely step in as Green Bay's lead back, as he did in Week 12.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (knee) is unlikely to practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "He's been battling through it. We'll see," LaFleur said, regarding Jacobs' status for Sunday's game in Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs first sustained his knee injury in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Giants, but after sitting out a Week 12 victory over Minnesota, he returned to a leading role out of the backfield for both of the past two games. However, the 27-year-old is feeling a bit more banged up than anticipated after handling 22 touches in this past Sunday's win over the Bears, prompting the Packers to take a cautious approach with him in practice this week. With Jacobs set to go down as a non-participant for the second straight day, he'll likely need to practice in some fashion Friday for fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of playing against Denver.

Jacobs (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schneidmann suggests Jacobs' absence is likely just maintenance for the knee injury that he played through the past two games (after missing Week 12). Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that Jacobs was riding a stationary bike and doing work off to the side while his teammates practiced Wednesday. A return to practice Thursday would confirm that Jacobs is on track to play through the knee injury again.

Jacobs handled 20 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown while grabbing both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs was limited early in the practice week with the same knee injury he picked up in Week 12 before being cleared of the designation with a full practice Friday. The 27-year-old showed no limitations while handling 20 out of 23 backfield carries in the win over Chicago. Jacobs' touchdown run in the fourth quarter was the talented runner's 12th trip to the end zone on the season and first since Week 10. With his health back in order, Jacobs is shaping up to be an RB1 for fantasy managers as the playoff schedule approaches.
