Josh Jacobs Headshot

Packers RB Josh Jacobs has been activated from the exempt list, putting him on track to play vs. the Lions on Sunday. Jacobs missed the first 6 games of the season, but it's worth noting that he was allowed to attend team meetings and lift with the team while on the exempt list. Jacobs said earlier this week that he's been working out in his helmet and pads for the past six weeks. It's still completely unclear how big a role he'll play in his 2026 debut, but a struggling Green Bay running game could certainly use him. We'll look for Sunday-morning reports on the Packers' plans for Jacobs.
