Should I Start Josh Jacobs?

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.
