The Seahawks placed RB Zach Charbonnet on the Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of training camp. Charbonnet tore his left ACL in January during the Divisional Round, and return timelines have ranged from October to December. So this move isn't a surprise. He could come off the list at any point during camp, but that still appears unlikely. He could also open the regular season on the PUP list, which would sideline him for at least four games.

"This is the best I've felt in six weeks." That's what Green Bay RB Josh Jacobs said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The Packers writer adds that Jacobs has been "dealing with a swollen and stiff knee." Jacobs is off the injury report for the first time since Week 11.

The Packers are expected to rest starters in next weekend's regular-season finale vs. the Vikings, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Green Bay's loss to the Ravens on Saturday night locked them into the NFC's No. 7 seed. RB Josh Jacobs, who's been battling injuries for most of the season, is the most obvious candidate to sit. That'd leave Emanuel Wilson as the lead back. QB Jordan Love could also sit part or all of the game. We'll look for more details on Green Bay's plans. The matchup against a red-hot Minnesota defense makes all Packers less intriguing in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Packers RB Josh Jacobs aggravated his knee injury in Saturday night's loss to the Bears. Jacobs finished with just 48 total yards on 14 touches, with his last touch coming midway through the third quarter. RB Emanuel Wilson wound up leading Green Bay with 14 carries and 82 rushing yards. He needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues while we wait to see on Jacobs' status for next Saturday night's game vs. the Ravens.

Give Josh Jacobs credit for trying to play through a knee injury after he missed practice all week, but fantasy managers would have been better off if Jacobs had rested. Jacobs mustered only 36 yards on 12 carries in Green Bay's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears. He chipped in a pair of receptions for 12 yards, but Jacobs' 6.8 PPR points were his second-lowest total of the season and came at the worst time, in the semi-finals.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Bears. He didn't practice all week. Jacobs has been battling through injuries -- particularly this knee issue -- for much of the season but has only missed one game. We're tentatively expecting him to play in this huge divisional game, but it's certainly not a lock. We'll keep you updated on Jacobs' status and get Green Bay's inactives a little before 7 pm ET on Saturday. If Jacobs is unable to go, RB Emanuel Wilson would turn into a strong fantasy start. He carried 28 times for 107 yards and two TDs when Jacobs missed Week 12.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee) is expected to play vs. the Broncos today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jacobs dealt with knee swelling throughout the week and is listed as questionable. Schefter adds that Green Bay will be "mindful that it has another game in six days in Chicago." It's worth noting that Jacobs' volume was scaled back as he dealt with a calf injury earlier this season. He averaged 14.3 carries and 3.0 targets per game on a 56% snap rate in a three-game stretch from Weeks 7 through 9. It wouldn't be a surprise to see similar deployment today. Jacobs sits a little lower than usual in the Week 15 RB rankings but should remain in the vast majority of fantasy lineups. RB Emanuel Wilson (illness) will see how he feels today before deciding whether he can play vs. Denver.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs' knee injury is not believed to be season ending, but he's set for additional testing on Monday, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. It's relatively good news -- but still a bit ominous. Jacobs owners should be bracing for him to miss some time, but we should learn more tomorrow. RB Emanuel Wilson operated as Green Bay’s clear lead back after Jacobs exited, out-carrying RB Chris Brooks 11 to 0. Wilson tallied 40 yards and a score, adding 11 yards on his lone catch. He’s looking at a strong role if Jacobs misses more time, although the next two weeks bring tough matchups against the Vikings and Lions. That’s followed by a plus draw against the Bears.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is questionable to return to today's game vs. the Giants with a knee injury. He got hurt in the first quarter, briefly returned, but then headed back to the locker room with trainers. We'll update his status when we know more. Jacobs' absence leaves Emanuel Wilson as Green Bay's lead back, with Chris Brooks behind him.

Update: Jacobs has been ruled out.

The Packers consider RB Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) a "true game-time decision" for Sunday's meeting with the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's presumably the calf that has Jacobs iffy for this one. That issue was added to the injury report on Friday, although Jacobs was a full participant in practice that day. We'll surely get more updates on Jacobs between now and the 1 pm ET kickoffs on Sunday. (We won't get Green Bay's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET.) Schefter also confirms that RB Emanuel Wilson would be the expected starter if Jacobs can't go. We'd also see RB Chris Brooks mix in, particularly on passing downs. And the Packers elevated RB Pierre Strong from the practice squad on Saturday. Wilson would likely settle in as a mid to high-end RB3 in the Week 7 rankings if Jacobs misses.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (illness, calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday with the illness. The calf was added to the injury report on Friday, but Jacobs was a full participant in practice. He should be fine for Sunday’s game, but we’ll keep you updated on his status. RB Emanuel Wilson would be the best bet in Green Bay’s backfield if Jacobs does not play.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury in Friday night's preseason game against the Colts. HC Matt LaFleur told reporters Sunday that Lloyd is "going to miss some time." The latest ding came shortly after Lloyd returned from a late July groin injury.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has no limitations at the start of voluntary offseason work. A variety of injuries (ankle, hamstring, appendicitis) limited him to one game and six carries as a Round 3 rookie.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is expected to be designated to return and practice this week, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Lloyd has been dealing with injuries since the summer and has played just 10 snaps so far this season. If the rookie can get and stay healthy, he still has a chance to ascend to the No. 2 spot on Green Bay's depth chart, but he has work to do to get there. For now, Lloyd is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.

The Packers are placing RB MarShawn Lloyd on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Colts, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That was Lloyd's debut after missing most of August and Week 1 with hip and hamstring injuries. The rookie is now out another four games. At this point, it's tough to imagine him being a fantasy factor this season, even if RB Josh Jacobs goes down.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) was on the field in pads for Sunday's practice. The rookie missed the majority of August with hip and hamstring injuries but is seemingly on track to be available for Friday night's opener vs. the Eagles.
