Days leading up to the season’s rubber match with the Bears, Josh Jacobs, Jordan Love, and others have gotten healthy at the right time for the Green Bay Packers
Green Bay had been battling injuries across the board to close out the regular season. It appears the team has turned the corner in that respect, especially from the two most important skill players on the roster. Running back Josh Jacobs and quarterback Jordan Love have no reported limitations for Saturday night’s first-round playoff matchup when the Packers invade Chicago to do battle with the No. 2 seed and division rival Bears.
Jacobs, who has been battling a nagging knee injury all season, managed just 28 combined carries in Weeks 15-17, but got a full rest with other starters in Week 18. “My body coming into this game is the best I’ve felt probably in the last six weeks,” Jacobs said. “So it’s a pretty good situation to be in.” Meanwhile, Jordan Love is a week removed from clearing concussion protocol. He sustained the concussion and exited Week 16 early before missing Week 17. Love cleared league protocol before the team’s Week 18 affair, but was held out along with others to be ready for Saturday. Neither he nor Jacobs carries any injury designation for the game.
Green Bay is currently favored by 1.5 points for the matchup at Soldier Field.

The Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs injures his knee against the New York Giants Week 11.
The Green Bay Packers lost running back Josh Jacobs in Week 11 against the New York Giants after suffering a knee injury. The hope is he only missed the rest of the game, but more tests will determine the severity of the injury. However, it does not sound like it’s season ending but could potentially miss some time. If time is missed look to add Emanuel Wilson to your lineup. Stay tune for further updates.

In a rough night for the Green Bay Packers Josh Jacobs was the lone bright spot on Monday night, scoring the only touchdown.
The Green Bay Packers struggled on offense on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles but Josh Jacobs found the endzone. Jacobs finished with 107 scrimmage yards in addition to the touchdown.
Jordan Love only had 158 passing yards and no pass catcher had more than 45 receiving yards. Christian Watson led the Packers with 45 receiving yards, no else reached 40.
The Packers have a deep wide receiver rotation but no one really stepped up tonight, Josh Jacobs is the safest Packer going forward.

Green Bay Packers back up running back Chris Brooks has earned an increase in snaps as of late.
Running back Chris Brooks of the Green Bay Packers has seen an uptick in usage and snaps over the last four weeks. Brooks has earned at least a 20% snap share during that span. This includes week 12 game where he set a season high 35% snap share. Brooks has earned five touches in two of the previous three contests.
Emmanuel Wilson, the back up to Jacobs for most of the season, has not earned more than 25% of snaps since week six. That being said, Wilson has still out touched Brooks during that span.
The emergence of Brooks has not impacted Josh Jacobs role in anyway. However, it has created a murky situation if Jacobs were to go down with an injury late season. Brooks is worth monitoring in any size of league given this potential.

Green Bay Packers New RB Josh Jacobs looks to be rehabbing.
Packers newly signed RB Josh Jacobs was spotted on the sidelines running sprints, as he rehabs a hamstring injury. Jacobs has a history of injuries but looks to be nearing a return coach Matt LaFleur said. This doesn’t sound to be serious, but it is worth noting that he is rehabbing a soft tissue injury. He did miss 4 games last season with the Raiders due to a bruised thigh, after not missing any games in 2022 season, while leading the league in rushing yards.
For fantasy Jacobs is a do it all running back and looks to get back to his 2022 form, where he finished the season as RB 3. He will have a better offensive line and better offense overall with the Packers than the Raiders. So finishing in top-10 is very well in the cards for him this season.
The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a deal to sign former Raiders RB Josh Jacobs.
Josh Jacobs was a fan favorite in Las Vegas. After the 2023 regime change and the hiring of Antonio Pierce, fans hoped that Jacobs would re-sign with the team, and maybe finish his career as a Raider. That hope is dead. Josh Jacobs is signing with the Green Bay Packers.
Jacobs, a former 1st Rd pick, will be entering his age 26 season and coming off of two very different seasons. Jacobs led the NFL in rushing yards in 2022, and in 2023, the often banged-up back missed the first significant playing time with an injury. Jacobs was out for the final 4 games last season, opening the door for Zamir White to take over the RB1 duties. This, after a training camp holdout led to speculation that he started the 2023 season but “wasn’t ready.” Jacobs should be the lead back in Green Bay.
In corresponding news, the Packers’ talks in an attempt to bring back Aaron Jones broke down and Jones will now be released. Jones is another back who missed significant time in 2023 with an injury.
