Packers' Jacobs, Wilson Questionable vs. Broncos
Green Bay, Wis. The Green Bay Packers face uncertainty at the running back position heading into their matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, with both Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson listed as questionable due to injuries.
Jacobs, the team's lead rusher, has been dealing with a knee issue that limited his participation throughout the week. He sat out practices on Wednesday and Thursday, riding a stationary bike instead, and returned in a limited capacity on Friday. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur indicated that Jacobs' availability will depend on his response to that workload. "He will be out there in a limited capacity," LaFleur said. "We'll see how he's feeling. Just talking to him, it sounds like he's feeling pretty good. But we'll see how he responds to practice." The running back, who earned Pro Bowl honors last season, has accumulated 817 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 206 carries this year. He has played in every game since missing Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings due to the same knee problem, posting strong performances with 83 yards against the Detroit Lions and 86 yards with a touchdown versus the Chicago Bears in recent outings.
