The Packers running back will return to practice Wednesday after the NFL lifted him from the commissioner's exempt list, where he had sat since Aug. 30, three days after charges were filed against him stemming from a May altercation.\n\nCoach Matt LaFleur called Jacobs \"an elite-level back\" and said the plan for using him against Detroit on Sunday is still being worked out. \"I think that's going to be determined throughout the course of the week,\" LaFleur said Monday, a day after Green Bay's 23-13 win over the Cowboys. \"See where he's at, see how he's feeling and then we'll make a decision.\"\n\nJacobs, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, gives the Packers a potential fix for a rushing attack that has struggled all season. He will get a full week of practice before any decision is made on his game status.\n\nGreen Bay won't have defensive end Micah Parsons back at practice this week as they prepare for the Lions.","published_at":"2026-10-21T00:20:15.583659+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Return of Josh Jacobs should help Packers boost a rushing attack that has slumped all season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/return-josh-jacobs-help-packers-221703979.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Packers, LaFleur enthused Jacobs, 'an elite-level back,' can practice Wednesday","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50221818/packers-josh-jacobs-practice-wednesday-play-sunday"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Josh Jacobs to get full week of practice, game status to be determined","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/josh-jacobs-to-get-full-week-of-practice-game-status-to-be-determined"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Detroit Lions Get Major Josh Jacobs News Ahead of Packers Showdown","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/detroit-lions-major-josh-jacobs-131016373.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Fantasy Football Impact: Josh Jacobs' Status For Week 7 Is To Be Determined","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fantasy-football-impact-josh-jacobs-204131354.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Packers reveal Josh Jacobs plan amid RB's potential Week 7 return","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/packers-reveal-josh-jacobs-plan-202721848.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Packers updates on Micah Parsons, Josh Jacobs, Kevin Zeitler entering Week 7","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/packers-updates-micah-parsons-josh-204614889.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Josh Jacobs to get full week of practice, game status to be determined","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/josh-jacobs-full-week-practice-215334823.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Packers running back Josh Jacobs will start practice Wednesday, may return vs Detroit","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/packers-running-back-josh-jacobs-215025673.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Packers running back Josh Jacobs will start practice Wednesday, may return vs Detroit","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/packers-running-back-josh-jacobs-215025982.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Josh Jacobs will practice with the Packers this week; Micah Parsons won’t","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/josh-jacobs-practice-packers-week-224123366.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Josh Jacobs nears Packers return as Matt LaFleur outlines practice plans","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/josh-jacobs-nears-packers-return-203049493.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/35c322b1e7f28698921afc5a81f9e99af98e9ff2ad077633e50c41a028c49904/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fap.org%2Faf9f06f6ff7b5a2dd86dda92021936cd.jpg","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
