The Green Bay Packers didn't have the services of running back Josh Jacobs last week due to a knee injury.
Jacobs sustained a knee contusion in the Week 10 win over the New York Giants that led to his early exit. The veteran running back was able to log a few limited practices but was ultimately ruled out for Week 12.
Ahead of the Week 13 game against the Detroit Lions, here's what we know about Jacobs' status after he was on the injury report again this week.
Is Josh Jacobs playing today?
Yes, Jacobs will be on the field for the Packers in Week 13.
Jacobs logged a limited practice three times this week, but that was enough for him to get cleared. The Packers playmaker was officially removed from the injury report on Wednesday.
Josh Jacobs fantasy advice
Jacobs draws a tough matchup in Week 13 against a Lions defense ceding the third-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs.
That said, he also ranks as RB7 overall in fantasy points per game, so he's an every-week starter regardless of matchup, although expectations should be tempered this week.
In his last meeting with the Lions, Jacobs carried the ball 19 times for 66 yards and one touchdown while adding one catch for four yards.
The good news for Jacobs is this game against Detroit could feature lots of scoring opportunities, so Jacobs can still salvage his day even with lackluster yardage production.
