Josh Jacobs Not Expected to be Out for Long
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) doesn't think it will take long for him to return after suffering a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the New York Giants, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's not a pain issue for Jacobs, but he'll need to get his range of motion back before he's cleared to play again. He said that he banged his knee on the second play of Sunday's game, and he didn't return because his knee swelled up fast, and he couldn't bend it. The 27-year-old did not practice on Wednesday but was seen doing individual drills on Thursday, giving him a chance to be active this Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs' Week 12 status is truly up in the air right now, and the Packers might play it safe and hold him out this weekend. If that happens, Emanuel Wilson will be in line for lead-back duties, with Chris Brooks serving in a change-of-pace RB2 role. UPDATE: Jacobs was officially limited on Thursday.
