NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Packers will not have defensive end Micah Parsons at practice this week but will have running back Josh Jacobs back on the field as they prepare to face the Lions.
- Jacobs was removed from the Commissioner Exempt list and will participate in a full week of practice, with his game status and playing time against the Lions still to be determined.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur noted that Jacobs has been training and staying engaged with the team during his paid leave, attending meetings and conditioning, which could help revitalize the Packers' struggling running game.
- LaFleur praised Jacobs as an elite-level back who could provide a much-needed boost to the team's ground attack, which has been the league's least productive.
- Jacobs has an impressive track record, having rushed for 2,258 yards and 29 touchdowns in his first two seasons with Green Bay.
