Racks up 90 total yards in win Jacobs rushed 18 times for 62 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Jacobs has reached 90 scrimmage yards in four of six games with the Packers but has only one touchdown this season, as all four of Green Bay's touchdowns Sunday were scored by wide receivers. The former Raiders running back is poised for another substantial workload in Week 7 against the Texans, but Jacobs will have to work hard for his yards against a Houston defense that just held Patriots running backs to 44 rushing yards on 21 carries (2.1 YPC).

Solid day against Rams Jacobs rushed the ball 19 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams. He added one reception on one target for 21 yards.
Impact Jacobs was utilized heavily throughout the game to reach 20 total touches for the second time this season. He turned in a mediocre effort from an efficiency perspective, with his longest gain of the day coming on a 21-yard reception that got the Packers deep into Rams territory on a touchdown drive. Jacobs also tallied his first touchdown of the campaign on a two-yard plunge to open the scoring in the contest. While his production has been sensitive to game script, Jacobs has shown a floor of at least 13 touches heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Cardinals.

Logs 13 touches in loss Jacobs rushed nine times for 51 yards and brought in four of six targets for 27 yards in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Impact Jacobs averaged an efficient 5.7 yards per carry, and he complemented the productive rushing performance with a season high in receptions and receiving yards. Jacobs' rushing opportunities were curtailed overall due to a game script that saw the Packers fall behind by a large margin over the first two quarters-plus, but he still managed to cobble together a reasonably productive performance relative to opportunity. Jacobs next takes aim at the Rams' inconsistent defense in a Week 5 road matchup.

Minimal production on 14 carries Jacobs rushed the ball 14 times for 43 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans. He added one reception on one target for five yards.
Impact Jacobs saw his fewest carries of the season, seemingly in part due to gameplan but also due to ineffectiveness, as he had only 11 yards on seven carries at halftime. Jacobs salvaged his day to some degree with a 10-yard gain late in the fourth quarter -- he also had a 23-yard rush wiped away by a penalty on the next play-- but it was still a subpar performance. He should see plenty of work in Week 4 against Minnesota, and the return of Jordan Love (knee) could help both his volume and efficiency return to a more normal level.

Clear for Week 3 Jacobs (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact For s second week in a row, Jacobs has operated with a cap on his practice reps due to a back injury, but it won't impede him from serving as the Packers' No. 1 running back this weekend. The biggest question mark in Green Bay's offense remains the status of Jordan Love, who is listed as questionable and may be a game-time call, per Bill Huber of SI.com. No matter who among Love or Malik Willis is under center, though, Jacobs should handle a healthy dose of carries, as he has 48 through two contests this season.

Another limited showing Jacobs (back) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Impact Jacobs now has been listed as limited on five consecutive injury reports due to a lingering back issue, but the cap on his reps is merely precautionary, as evidenced by the running back racking up 32 carries for 151 yards during this past Sunday's win against the Colts. If last week is any indication, he'll be cleared once the Packers post their final report of Week 3 prep Friday.

Still dealing with back issue Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jacobs continues to tend to the health concern that capped his on-field reps all of last week, but it didn't stop him from pacing a run-heavy game plan this past Sunday against the Colts, when he tallied 32 carries for 151 yards. With MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) joining AJ Dillon (neck) on injured reserve this week, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the healthy RBs on Green Bay's active roster. In the end, though, Jacobs will remain the team's bell-cow back as long as he's able to suit up on game days.

Limited Wednesday Coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs (undisclosed) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Impact It's unclear if Jacobs is dealing with the back injury that limited in practice all of last week, but it's not surprising that he's dealing with some wear and tear in the wake of handling 32 carries for 151 yards in the past Sunday's win against the Colts. Jacobs' health concern will be revealed once the Packers post their first Week 3 injury report later Wednesday.
