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.

Jets to Feature Breece Hall More Prominently in 2026

Sunday, August 9, 6:10 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to be featured more prominently as the team's lead back this season. After signing Hall to a four-year contract extension this summer, the Jets plan to build their workload around him, with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis working behind him. In his fourth season, Hall had 243 carries for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns, along with 36 receptions for 350 yards and one touchdown. His receiving workload saw a massive dip last season, falling from over 4.75 targets per game to just three in 2025. Hall will need to be a major factor in the passing game alongside quarterback Geno Smith to reach his current ADP.
