Josh Jacobs Showing Burst in Team Drills

Monday, August 24, 11:51 AM

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.

J.K. Dobbins Back in Full Pads Tuesday

Tuesday, August 18, 10:27 AM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins was back in full pads Tuesday as he continues working through the soft-tissue issue that cut short his Aug. 10 practice. Dobbins was already back doing individual drills the next day and practiced again Wednesday, then returned Monday during Denver's non-padded session. So this hasn't turned into a long absence. He ran for 772 yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries in 10 games last season before a foot injury sent him to injured reserve after Week 10. Denver re-signed him to a two-year deal in March, and Dobbins is still listed first on the Broncos' initial unofficial depth chart ahead of RJ Harvey. Rookie Jonah Coleman is in the mix, too, after a good start to camp. Tuesday's full-pads appearance is another good sign for Dobbins, but there still hasn't been confirmation that he's back to a completely normal workload. That's the next thing to watch.
