Josh Jacobs News
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.

Luther Burden III News
Friday, August 21, 5:12 AM
The Chicago Bears were in Cincinnati on Thursday for a joint practice with the Bengals, and while second-year wide receiver Luther Burden III (groin) did not participate as he works his way back from the groin injury that has caused him to miss most of training camp, podcast hosts Adam Hoge and Adam Jahns expressed a lack of concern, saying that Burden looks "mostly fine." After a strong finish to his rookie season, Burden was the star of the opening days of training camp before getting tangled with a teammate and exiting practice on August 8. The hope has since been that he would be ready for the team's regular season opener against the Panthers on September 13. While the groin injury has caused an ADP dip in recent weeks, Burden is still RotoBaller's WR22, as all signs pre-injury pointed to the 22-year-old receiver becoming the focal point of a high-powered Bears offense.
