Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a wrist injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
His ability to participate in any capacity for the first practice of the week suggests Jacobs likely will play Sunday against the Bears. Green Bay is only playing for the difference between the Nos. 6 and 7 seeds in the NFC playoffs in Week 18, but that doesn't mean the game will be treated different from any other.

Jacobs rushed the ball 17 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis
The Packers got off to a slow start offensively, and Jacobs played a key role in that by losing a fumble on the team's opening possession. He made up for the miscue later in the contest with a two-yard touchdown plunge, his 15th score of the campaign. Jacobs has now found the end zone in seven consecutive games, making him one of the most consistent fantasy performers at the position.
Jacobs rushed 13 times for 69 yards and a touchdown while recording four receptions on as many targets for 38 yards in Monday's 34-0 win over New Orleans.
Analysis
Jacobs was able to carve out a strong fantasy line for managers in just a shade over two quarters of action in Monday's romp. His lack of carries over the final 25 minutes of the game isn't believed to be the result of an injury; instead, head coach Matt LaFleur likely just wanted to give the workhorse back a breather while the Packers had the victory well in hand. Fantasy managers can expect a well-rested Jacobs in Week 17, when the Packers visit the Vikings on Sunday.
Jacobs rushed 26 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis
Jacobs was involved from the get-go with 44 scrimmage yards on seven carries and two catches on the opening drive, which concluded with a one-yard touchdown run. He finished the first half with 17 touches for 111 yards but struggled after halftime. Jacobs went backward in the third quarter with four carries for minus-5 yards, then fumbled in the fourth. He racked up some more yardage as the Packers kept the clock running with the lead but was stuffed on fourth-and-2 with 5:55 left. Jacobs came six rushing yards shy of his fourth 100-yard rushing performance, but he's up to 12 rushing touchdowns in 14 games with the Packers and will look to add to that total against the Saints in a Monday night matchup in Week 16.
Jacobs rushed 18 times for 66 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Analysis
Jacobs had a fourth touchdown via a six-yard reception nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty on Christian Watson with just under five minutes remaining in the game. The standout back found the end zone on the ground from one, six and four yards out in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively, his second three-touchdown effort of the season. Jacobs also officially went without a catch for the third time overall in 2024, but his near complete domination of Green Bay's backfield and his massive red-zone usage keeps him as an elite option in a Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night, Dec. 15.
Jacobs (calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis
Jacobs operated with a cap on his practice reps Monday through Wednesday due to a calf injury, but it won't stop him from continuing to lead Green Bay's backfield Thursday. Over his last five contests, he's averaged 22.4 touches for 118 yards from scrimmage and 1.4 touchdowns per game, making him a must-start option for fantasy purposes.
Jacobs (calf) was a limited practice participant Tuesday.
Analysis
The Packers have listed Jacobs as a limited participant on both of their first two Week 14 injury reports, but head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't offered any indications that the star running back is at risk of missing Thursday's game at Detroit. Jacobs could just be getting some extra maintenance for his calf after logging at least 15 touches in each of Green Bay's last eight games.

Jacobs was a limited participant at Monday's practice due to a calf injury.
Analysis
Jacobs has strung together five consecutive games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, a stretch in which he's accumulated 112 touches for 590 total yards and seven rushing touchdowns. As the Packers gear up for Thursday's contest at Detroit, he's tending to a health concern, so his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on.

Jacobs rushed the ball 19 times for 43 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins. He added four receptions on four targets for 74 yards.
Analysis
Jacobs was inefficient on the ground, though he punched in a one-yard touchdown late in the first quarter to pad his performance. He also chipped in as a receiver, highlighted by a long 49-yard catch and run midway through the fourth quarter. Overall, Jacobs found the end zone for the fourth time in his last five games and has topped 100 yards from scrimmage in each of those contests.
