Jacobs rushed 32 times for 151 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis
The offseason acquisition took on a signature workhorse role in the victory, shouldering a massive amount of volume in the absence of Jordan Love (knee). Jacobs' ability to consistently rip off productive gains -- his longest run was a relatively modest 34 yards -- helped protect Malik Willis in his first Packers start, and Green Bay's defense did its part to keep the game script favorable for the ground attack with three interceptions and a sack of Anthony Richardson. Jacobs' lack of a pass-game role Sunday was about the only blemish on his otherwise fantasy-friendly afternoon, and he'll aim to extend the hot start to his team tenure against the Titans on the road in Week 3.
Jacobs (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
Analysis
Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after playing 72 percent of snaps and taking 18 touches for 104 yards from scrimmage in the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. He could be even more emphasized in Green Bay's offense if QB Jordan Love (questionable, MCL sprain) ends up inactive this Sunday, but that might also lead to fewer scoring opportunities for the team and less defensive focus on stopping passes.
Jacobs (back) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis
Jacobs has kicked off Week 2 prep with consecutive capped sessions due to a back issue, but there's been no indication that his status for Sunday's game against the Colts is in question. Still, his activity level will continue to be monitored, and his listing on Friday's practice report will be key for his odds to suit up this weekend. Assuming he's available, Jacobs could see heavy usage due to the fact that Jordan Love may not be able to play due to the MCL sprain that he suffered in the season opener.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Back
Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury.
Analysis
Head coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Jacobs would have a cap on his reps to begin Week 2 prep, and the reason for the running back's limitations has now become known. Both Jacobs and MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) operated in such a manner Wednesday, which leaves Emanuel Wilson as the only healthy running back on the Packers' active roster at the moment. Jacobs will have two more chances to get back to full participation this week before the team potentially gives him a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Colts.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Back
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
LaFleur provided the update before practice but didn't comment on the nature of Jacobs' injury or ailment. The Packers' new running back played 72 percent of snaps in Friday's 34-29 loss to Philadelphia, handling 16 of the team's 20 running-back carries and three of the six running-back targets en route to 104 total yards. Any limitations for Week 2 against Indianapolis would open up more playing time for Emanuel Wilson and/or MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring), and the Packers are generally expected to lean more heavily on their rushing attack with Malik Willis expected to replace Jordan Love (knee) at quarterback.

Jacobs rushed 16 times for 84 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in a 34-29 loss to the Eagles on Friday.
Analysis
Jacobs started slowly, gaining just four yards on six carries in the first half. However, the Alabama product looked much more explosive after halftime, ripping off three runs of over 10 yards, including a 32-yarder early in the fourth period that helped set up a Green Bay field goal. It was an altogether promising first game as a Packer for Jacobs, who surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in three of his five campaigns with the Raiders.
Jacobs (coach's decision) was held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens.
Analysis
Jacobs made a brief appearance in Green Bay's first exhibition contest, but the team opted to keep its new offensive weapon fresh ahead of Week 1. The 26-year-old barely reached 1,000 total yards from scrimmage in his final season with the Raiders, but his production was likely diminished due to poor offensive game planning combined with the lack of a legitimate passing offense to keep opposing defenses honest. That shouldn't be the case in Green Bay, as the Jordan Love era appears to be trending in the right direction in conjunction with the star running back's arrival. Jacobs should still be considered an early round asset in fantasy drafts as the kickoff of the 2024 season nears.
Jacobs gained seven yards on his only carry and caught his only target for a two-yard loss in Saturday's 23-10 preseason win over the Browns.
Analysis
The running back dealt with a minor groin injury earlier in the week, but Jacobs was healthy for the Packers' preseason opener and played one series before calling it a day. The former Raider has topped 1,100 scrimmage yards in each of his first five seasons in the NFL, but Green Bay's coaching staff has suggested Jacobs will be used a little more frequently as a receiver during his first season with his new club. Jacobs could see a bigger workload in next Sunday's preseason clash with the Broncos as he gets ready for Week 1.
Jacobs is participating in 11-on-11s at Tuesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Jacobs has quickly returned to full participation after a groin injury cost him a few practices last week and then limited his participation to individual drills for a few days thereafter. He's locked in atop the depth chart, ahead of veteran AJ Dillon and rookie third-round pick MarShawn Lloyd. Dillon took 21 of the 26 first-team snaps at Saturday's Family Night practice, with Lloyd handling the other five, per Justin Mosqueda of Acme Packing Co.
