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.

Jacobs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday but said he'll be ready to play in Sunday's game against Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Matt LaFleur also hinted at Jacobs' injury being minor, relaying earlier that the running back "rolled" his ankle late in the fourth quarter and wanted to re-enter Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars. The Packers held him out for the final few snaps but now seem optimistic about having Jacobs ready for an NFC North showdown this Sunday. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) appears in more danger of missing the game, which would put more of the offensive burden on Jacobs and the other pieces of Green Bay's running game (backup quarterback Malik Willis as well as backup running backs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks).

Jacobs missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury he suffered toward the end of Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs wanted to go back into the game but was prevented from doing so on the final drive. The Packers ended up winning on a chip-shot field goal after a 51-yard connection between backup quarterback Malik Willis and wideout Jayden Reed. If healthy enough to play this Sunday against the Lions, Jacobs could be even more emphasized than usual in the Green Bay offense if quarterback Jordan Love (groin) -- who also sat out practice Wednesday -- is unable to suit up this weekend.

Jacobs is not participating in practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed issue, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs' absence may simply be related to load management, but the Packers' first Week 9 injury report will be released later Wednesday and will provide clarity on that front. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is also sitting out practice Wednesday and is uncertain to play Sunday against the Lions, making Jacobs' status even more important than usual for the Green Bay offense. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are both available as depth options behind Jacobs.

Jacobs rushed 25 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns while losing two yards on his only reception in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs punched in Green Bay's first and final touchdowns en route to a narrow victory. The lead back's second-half performance was crucial after starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) left Sunday's tilt in the third quarter. Jacobs is a significant part of the Packers' game plan whether or not Love is able to suit up against the Lions next Sunday, so fantasy managers should start the 26-year-old with confidence.

Jacobs rushed 12 times for 76 yards while catching all five of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs saw a light workload in the first half, turning six carries and two targets into 38 scrimmage yards. He didn't take long to get going after halftime, breaking off a 27-yard run on Green Bay's first possession of the second half and capping that drive with an eight-yard touchdown reception. It was his first career touchdown catch, coming on the 212th reception of Jacobs' career to set a record for most receptions before scoring a receiving touchdown. With the receiving touchdown monkey finally off his back, Jacobs will look to add to his season total of two scrimmage touchdowns when the Packers travel to Jacksonville in Week 8.

Jacobs rushed 18 times for 62 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs has reached 90 scrimmage yards in four of six games with the Packers but has only one touchdown this season, as all four of Green Bay's touchdowns Sunday were scored by wide receivers. The former Raiders running back is poised for another substantial workload in Week 7 against the Texans, but Jacobs will have to work hard for his yards against a Houston defense that just held Patriots running backs to 44 rushing yards on 21 carries (2.1 YPC).
