Jacobs (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers limited Jacobs' practice reps coming out of a bye week but never gave any indication he was in danger of missing Sunday's game. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks again will be the reserve options, as rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd was diagnosed Friday with appendicitis after missing the previous seven games due to a high-ankle sprain. Regardless, Jacobs is locked in as Green Bay's lead runner, averaging 17.6 carries for 84.7 yards per game, with three rushing TDs and a receiving TD in nine appearances.

Jacobs (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs now has put together back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 11 prep. The same can be said for rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd, who remains on injured reserve, due to ankle and hamstring issues. Friday's practice report may provide some clarity on the status of both players ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago.

Jacobs (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming out of a bye, Jacobs is tending to a quad injury that has resulted in his reps being capped in the Packers' first two Week 11 practices. Head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't yet indicated that the quad issue is anything that will threaten Jacobs' availability for Sunday's game against the Bears, but the running back may need to put in a full practice Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Jacobs (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
On the heels of a Week 10 bye, Jacobs is making an appearance on the Packers' first Week 11 practice report, as is rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring), who also was limited after the team designated him for return from injured reserve Monday. Jacobs and Lloyd will have two more chances this week to return to full participation or else risk entering the weekend with designations ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago.

Jacobs rushed the ball 13 times for 95 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was the driving force behind the Packers' offense in the first two quarters, as he picked up 89 yards on 10 carries prior to halftime. He had long gains of 37 and 13 yards, the latter of which came on the team's opening scoring drive. However, he tallied only three carries in the second half as Green Bay attempted to come back from a 17-3 deficit, leading to more involvement for Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson. Jacobs remains the clear lead back in the offense, though Sunday's usage was concerning for him if the Packers fall behind in contests moving forward.

Jacobs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs emerged from the Packers' Week 8 win in Jacksonville with an ankle injury that didn't allow him to practice until Thursday, but he ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited sessions before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his status confirmed for Sunday's outing, he should be good for his normal 20.1 touches per game.

Jacobs, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs hurt his ankle late in last Sunday's win over Jacksonville and logged a DNP/LP/LP progression in practice this week. He entered the weekend deemed questionable to take the field against Detroit but appears set to try to play through the injury. Jacobs will likely be getting the ball from Jordan Love, who is also expected to play Sunday, per Schefter, despite dealing with a groin injury.

Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs was injured late in the fourth quarter of last week's 30-27 win over the Jaguars and then missed practice Wednesday. He returned Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, giving him a decent shot to be active ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. The Packers have Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as alternatives if Jacobs is absent or limited, with Wilson having handled most of the backup work this season but Brooks getting more involved Week 8 against Jacksonville (22 percent snap share and five touches for 16 yards, while Wilson took 18 percent snap share and six touches for three yards).

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a Week 8 win over the Jaguars in which he took on 26 touches -- his second-highest total of the season -- Jacobs has been subject to a lighter workload in practice this week. He sat out Wednesday's practice due to what the Packers termed as an ankle issue, though Jacobs suggested that the injury is a minor concern that won't keep him from playing in a critical divisional matchup with the Lions this Sunday. Jacobs' ability to take some reps Thursday offers further encouragement on that front, and if cleared to play against the Lions, the Packers could continue to lean heavily on the veteran running back. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) was forced out of the Week 8 win and could be in danger of sitting out against the Lions, which could prompt the Packers to lean on a more run-heavy game plan led by Jacobs if Malik Willis ends up stepping in for Love as the team's starting signal-caller.

Jacobs (ankle) took part in practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacobs appeared to be favoring his lower body at times during this past Sunday's win at Jacksonville, and coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that the running back "rolled" his ankle late in the fourth quarter. As such, Jacobs didn't practice Wednesday, but he also relayed that he intends to suit up Sunday versus the Lions. Thursday's practice report will reveal how much work he was able to handle.
