Who Should I Start? Duke Johnson or Josh Jacobs

Sunday, May 5, 1:51 PM

Running back Duke Johnson announced his retirement from professional football on Sunday. Johnson was originally taken in the third round (77th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in the 2015 NFL draft out of Miami. He spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Browns before spending two years with the Houston Texans. Johnson played for the Miami Dolphins in 2021 and the Buffalo Bills in the final year of his career in 2022. The 30-year-old wraps up his career having recorded 2,265 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 532 carries, adding 311 catches on 405 targets for 2,870 yards and an additional 12 touchdowns in 97 games (21 starts) covering eight seasons. Johnson had a career-high 410 rushing yards on 83 attempts in his first year in Houston in 2019.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (illness) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like Jacobs was feeling under the weather so the team decided to limit him on Wednesday. This shouldn't be something that impacts his status for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. For now, Jacobs is considered day-to-day and should return to full practice in a day or two. After a slow start, Jacobs has turned it on with four total touchdowns and over 85 rushing yards in each of his last two games. He's a must-start RB1 against the Cardinals in Week 7.
