Josh Jacobs, Josh Jacobs Showing Burst in Team Drills
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) took team reps Monday and looked sharp doing it. Ryan Wood reported that Jacobs showed good burst through the middle on inside-zone runs after spending most of August working his way back from a groin injury. This is a bigger step than his return last week, when Jacobs was limited to individual drills after nearly two weeks on the sideline. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he rushed 234 times for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games, while adding 36 catches for 282 yards and another score. Green Bay has been cautious with Jacobs throughout August, but getting him back into team work and seeing that kind of burst is encouraging with the regular season approaching. Monday looked much closer to normal work for the veteran back.

Josh Jacobs, Josh Jacobs to Participate in Limited Team Drills on Monday
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) has dealt with a multi-week groin injury that held him out of Friday's preseason matchup with the Broncos, but he will participate in Monday's practice, according to team beat writer Ryan Wood. Head Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters ahead of practice that Jacobs would participate in team drills with limitations. Injuries derailed what started as a strong second season with the Packers, and following a tumultuous offseason that could still see disciplinary ramifications, Jacobs has fallen to RB15 by current ADP. While his legal situation makes for a risky click even at his depressed draft cost, if Jacobs is healthy and available for a full slate of games, he has top-five upside and could prove to be a league-winner in 2026.

Matthew Golden, Matthew Golden Has a Much Better Setup in Year Two
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden didn't have much to show for his rookie year until the very end. He caught 29 passes for 361 yards during the regular season, then went for 84 yards and his first NFL touchdown against Chicago in the playoffs. Green Bay has cleared out some of the traffic since then. Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded, leaving Golden in the top three with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed. The summer has helped his case, too. Golden caught a 57-yard touchdown from Jordan Love on Family Night, missed a couple of practices with a toe issue, then came right back without much trouble. On Friday against Denver, he was out there with the starters and caught a 19-yard pass from Love on fourth-and-inches during the opening touchdown drive. There are still plenty of mouths to feed once Tucker Kraft is included, so Golden isn't guaranteed a huge target jump. The opportunity is a lot cleaner than it was last year, though. RotoBaller has him 113th overall in PPR, and he's looking more interesting as a bench receiver with upside.

Josh Jacobs, Josh Jacobs Sits Out Friday's Preseason Action
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) did not play in Friday's second preseason game against the Denver Broncos, according to Mike Spofford of the team's official website. Jacobs was back at training camp practice on Tuesday after missing some time this summer with a groin injury, so the Packers' decision to hold their RB1 out on Friday in Denver was likely out of an abundance of caution. Barring a setback in practice, Jacobs should be ready to roll for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September as the team's primary back. The 28-year-old missed two regular-season games last year due to injuries and finished with 929 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 234 carries while adding 36 receptions for 282 yards and a score through the air. Jacobs has had a nose for the end zone in his career, but especially in his first two seasons with Green Bay, scoring 28 times on the ground in 32 starts. He is a workhorse with a grinding style, which makes him a bit more susceptible to injuries. Treat him as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 in upcoming fantasy drafts as the Packers' starting RB.

Will Sheppard, Will Sheppard Leads Green Bay in Receiving on Friday Night
Most of the Green Bay Packers' starting offense played only one series in Friday's preseason win over the Broncos, a 12-play, 63-yard touchdown drive to open the night, and so it was 24-year-old wide receiver Will Sheppard who led the team with six catches for 47 yards, adding a touchdown grab of his own in the second quarter. An undrafted free agent out of Colorado in 2025, Sheppard spent the majority of his first season on the Packers' practice squad before signing a reserve/future contract in January, but following the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, he is competing for a depth role in 2026. Behind a locked-in trio of Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Jayden Reed, the Packers still have a capable group of pass-catchers in Savion Williams, Bo Melton, and Skyy Moore, so even if Sheppard earns a spot on the initial 53-man roster, any contributions in 2026 project to be minimal. Still, Sheppard's showing on Friday night could help him land with a wide receiver-needy team if he's unable to stick in Green Bay. Either way, he is not a player who needs to factor into fantasy draft plans.
