Josh Jacobs Misses Another Practice on Friday

Friday, August 7, 5:20 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) was absent from Friday's practice session, according to Matt Schneidman. This is the second straight day that Jacobs has missed practice due to a groin injury. It's early in camp, so it's not surprising to see the Packers playing it safe with Jacobs. This injury is not viewed as a long-term issue, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about right now. MarShawn Lloyd is getting first-team reps without Jacobs available. He could be an interesting handcuff option for fantasy managers if Jacobs does miss any time. For now, Jacobs should be considered day-to-day and should be back at practice in a few days.

Bijan Robinson Agrees to Historical Extension

Tuesday, August 4, 5:30 AM

Running back Bijan Robinson has agreed to a three-year extension with the Atlanta Falcons worth up to $75 million. The deal includes $51 million in guaranteed money, which is the highest ever paid to a running back, and the new average annual value of $25 million exceeds that of Saquon Barkley by $4.4 million. Robinson has topped 1,400 rushing yards in each of the past two seasons while adding 140 receptions and an additional 1,251 receiving yards over that span. With Kevin Stefanski taking over as head coach and Robinson's long-time running mate Tyler Allgeier departing in free agency, expectations have only gotten higher for the fourth-year player, and he is RotoBaller's RB2 for 2026, behind only Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, who is likely now in line for a substantial payday of his own.
