The Green Bay Packers are in the hunt for a playoff spot, but they may be without star running back Josh Jacobs. The team are in a must-win situation against the Denver Broncos in order to protect their No. 1 spot in the NFC North, but they listed their top running back in their first injury report for the week, and it is concerning.
In the team’s first injury report released on Wednesday, it listed Josh Jacobs as “did not practice” due to injury. This has many Fantasy managers worried, as they may have to sit out the running back for at least a week.
What Happened To Josh Jacobs?
The Green Bay Packers’ first injury report for Week 15 has listed Josh Jacobs as dealing with a knee injury. It did not go into much details as to what exactly that injury is, but it was serious enough for him to miss Wednesday’s practice.
Back in Week 11, he suffered a knee contusion, though the injury report did not make it clear if this was also a case, or if it was on the same knee that he previously injured. For now, more details are expected to be revealed on Wednesday, with fans and Fantasy managers holding their breath.
Is Josh Jacobs Playing This Week?
For now, it is still not clear. Once Thursday’s practice results have been released, a judgement can be made, but it would be too early to tell for now. Since details are scarce and not much information was released, it should be noted that Jacobs’ injury may just be minor and the team just decided to rest him ahead of such an important game against probably the best team in the NFL right now.
Josh Jacobs Fantasy Outlook
It is still possible that Jacobs would be able to play, and it is also possible that the Green Bay packers also decide to rest him up, though in such an important game with playoff implications, that might not happen. For now, Fantasy managers better just wait and see if if does practice again on Thursday or Friday, as this could decide whether he plays or not on Sunday. That being said, sitting him may also be too much, as it is too early to tell.
