Big game in postseason loss
Published: 2025-01-12
Jacobs rushed the ball 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added three receptions on three targets for 40 yards.
Jacobs was the driving force behind Green Bay's comeback attempt in the second half, with the highlight being an impressive 32-yard touchdown run at the close of the third quarter. He also chipped in long receptions of 15 and 14 yards to close his campaign on a strong note. After posting a career-best 16 touchdowns while tallying 1,671 yards from scrimmage during the regular season, Jacobs will almost certainly be back to lead the backfield for the Packers in 2025.

Scores 15th rushing TD in finale
Published: 2025-01-05
Jacobs rushed six times for 44 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Jacobs extended his touchdown streak to eight games with his 15th rushing touchdown of the season on a nine-yard run in the second quarter. That play capped Jacobs' first regular season in Green Bay, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks handled backfield duties the rest of the way. Jacobs rushed 301 times for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 36 catches for 342 yards and his first career receiving touchdown on 43 targets in the regular season. The seventh-seeded Packers will travel to Philadelphia in the wild-card round.
No injury designation
Published: 2025-01-03
Jacobs (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Jacobs never seemed in real danger of missing the game and figures to occupy his usual role as Green Bay's workhorse. There is some chance of his usage eventually being scaled back, however, as the team's chances to move up from the seventh seed to No. 6 depend on the Cowboys beating the Commanders in a game that takes place at the same time as Green Bay's. In other words, the Packers may start to pull starters if it looks like a victory won't help them avoid a first-round trip to Philadelphia.
Another limited session
Published: 2025-01-02
Jacobs (wrist) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Jacobs opened Week 18 prep with a limited walkthrough Wednesday and maintained that activity level on day later, giving him one more chance to get back to full participation Friday or else risk entering the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bears. In his first meeting with Chicago this season, he went for 134 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 22 touches back in Week 11.
Limited by wrist injury
Published: 2025-01-01
Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a wrist injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
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 at this point, but that doesn't mean the game will be treated different from any other, as dropping down to the final playoff spot in the NFC would mean a trip to Philadelphia in the opening round.
Rare miscue in loss to Vikings
Published: 2024-12-29
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.
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.
Gains 107 yards in three quarters
Published: 2024-12-23
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.
Jacobs was able to carve out a strong fantasy line for managers in just three quarters of action in Monday's shutout. There is no injury to report, head coach Matt LaFleur simply decided to rest his workhorse in the fourth quarter with the victory cemented. Fantasy managers can expect a well-rested Jacobs in Week 17 when the Packers visit the Vikings on Sunday.
Tale of two halves on SNF
Published: 2024-12-15
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.
Jacobs was involved from the get-go with 44 scrimmage yards on seven carries and two catches on the opening drive, including 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 Week 16.
Three more TDs in loss
Published: 2024-12-05
Jacobs rushed 18 times for 66 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
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 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.
