Packers RB Josh Jacobs set to return to practice Tuesday
Matt LaFleur said Josh Jacobs will be back on the field after missing time with a groin injury, a positive sign for Green Bay's backfield.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is set to return to practice Tuesday after being sidelined by a groin injury, head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters. Jacobs, who was limited in recent sessions, should give the offense a key piece back as it prepares for Friday's preseason game against Denver. The 2025 campaign saw Jacobs rush for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games while adding 36 catches for 282 yards, so his availability matters for a Packers team that wants its starters building rhythm. Green Bay travels to Denver for the second week of the preseason before a joint practice with Arizona closes out the exhibition schedule. Getting Jacobs back on the field is a small but welcome step for a backfield that has been managing several health questions in camp.
