Jacobs (knee/ankle) is expected to be available for Saturday's road matchup against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs has stated that he expects to play Week 16, but he sat out Wednesday's practice and Tuesday's walkthrough session. The workhorse running back may need to upgrade to at least limited practice reps Thursday in order to gain clearance, however. He logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice slate Week 15 and was initially listed as questionable for Green Bay's loss to the Broncos, in which he rushed the ball 12 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions on three targets for 19 yards and another score.

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

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Tuesday's walkthrough due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, Jacobs told Ryan Wood of USA Today that he intends to play Saturday at Chicago, adding, "For me, it's harder to watch games than it is to play hurt." Jacobs had a significant limp in the locker room Tuesday while also wearing a knee brace, but if he follows a similar practice regimen to last week, he'd log a limited practice Thursday before being listed as questionable for Week 16 action. With Chris Brooks (chest) limited this week, Emanuel Wilson is the only healthy RB on the Packers' active roster.

Jacobs, who was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and ankle injuries, said after the session that he intends to play Saturday against the Bears, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. "For me, it's harder to watch games than it is to play hurt," Jacobs said.

EDGE Analysis

The ankle issue is a new concern for Jacobs, but he's been managing stiffness and swelling in his left knee since exiting the Packers' Week 11 win over the Giants. After sitting out a Week 12 win over the Vikings, Jacobs has returned to serve as the Packers' lead back for each of the last three games, but he aggravated the knee injury early in this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. Jacobs proceeded to play through the issue and finished with 92 total yards and two touchdowns on 14 touches, but he was still feeling banged up as of Tuesday and was sporting a significant limp while moving about the locker room and addressing the media. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, head coach Matt LaFleur was less firm than Jacobs in his expectation of the running back playing Saturday, though LaFleur noted that Jacobs is "as tough as they come" and shouldn't be counted out from suiting up Week 16. The Packers' final two practice reports of the week should provide more insight into Jacobs' chances of playing Saturday.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs played through a knee injury in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos and wouldn't participate Tuesday if the Packers held a traditional practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being forced out of a Week 11 win over the Giants with a left knee contusion and then missing a Week 12 win over the Vikings, Jacobs has suited up for each of Green Bay's last three games but has been listed on the injury report for all three contests. Jacobs had already been banged up following the Packers' Week 14 win over the Bears, and his condition doesn't seem to have improved after LaFleur said that the running back absorbed another big hit to the knee on a short-yardage carry early in Sunday's loss to Denver. LaFleur noted that Jacobs is "as tough as they come" and will have a chance to play in a rematch with the Bears in Chicago on Saturday, but at the very least, the 27-year-old is likely to have his practice activity heavily managed once again.

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.
