Should I Start Josh Jacobs?

Wednesday, October 21, 12:35 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was not listed on the team's Wednesday injury report, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Jacobs has yet to play in 2026 due to an offseason arrest, which landed him on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List for the first six weeks of the season. However, the star running back was removed from the list on Monday and is eligible to play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. It's not yet clear if Jacobs will be ramped up and ready to play right away, or whether he will face some sort of workload restriction. Still, the 28-year-old has been a workhorse back for Green Bay when healthy, recording 1,211 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns on 270 touches across 15 games in 2025. Based on his full participation on Wednesday, Jacobs could be trending toward a return against the Lions.
