Disappears in second half Jacobs rushed the ball 13 times for 95 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Packers. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.

Impact Jacobs was the driving force behind the Packers' offense in the first two quarters, as he picked up 89 yards on 10 carries at 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.

Available in Week 9 Jacobs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

Likely to suit up Sunday 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.

Impact 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.

Questionable for Week 9 Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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).

Turns in limited practice Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact 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.

Returns to practice Thursday Jacobs (ankle) took part in practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact Coach Matt LaFleur also hinted at the injury being minor, saying Wednesday that Jacobs "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. QB 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 QB Malik Willis as well as backup RBs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks).

Misses practice with ankle injury 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.

Impact 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 QB Malik Willis and Jayden Reed. There's an opportunity for Jacobs to be even more emphasized than usual in the Green Bay offense if his ankle injury clears up before QB Jordan Love's groin injury.

Not spotted at Wednesday's practice Jacobs (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs' absence may simply be related to load management, and Wednesday's official injury report will provide clarity on the star running back's health. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is also not practicing Wednesday and seems up-in-the-air for Week 9, making Jacobs' availability an even more pivotal factor than usual for the Packers' offense. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are both available behind Jacobs in the backfield for Green Bay.
