Spearheads offense in Week 2 win Jacobs rushed 32 times for 151 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Impact The offseason acquisition took on a signature workhorse role in the victory, taking on a massive amount of volume in the absence of Jordan Love (knee). Jacobs' ability to consistently rip off productive gains -- his longest run was a relatively modest 34 yards -- helped protect Malik Willis in his first Packers start, and Green Bay's defense did its part to keep the game script favorable for the ground attack with three interceptions and a sack of Anthony Richardson. Jacobs' lack of a pass-game role Sunday was about the only blemish on his otherwise fantasy-friendly afternoon, and he'll aim to extend the hot start to his team tenure against the Titans on the road in Week 3.

Cleared for Week 2 Jacobs (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
Impact Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after playing 72 percent of snaps and taking 18 touches for 104 yards in the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. He could be even more emphasized in Green Bay's offense if QB Jordan Love (questionable - MCL) ends up inactive this Sunday, but that might also lead to fewer scoring opportunities for the team and less defensive focus on stopping passes.

Another limited practice Jacobs (back) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Impact Jacobs has kicked off Week 2 prep with consecutive capped sessions due to a back issue, but there's been no indication that his status for Sunday's game against the Colts is in question. Still, his activity level will continue to be monitored, and his listing on Friday's practice report will be key for his odds to suit up this weekend. Assuming he's available, Jacobs could see heavy usage due to the fact that Jordan Love may not be able to play due to the MCL sprain that he suffered in the season opener.

Tending to back issue Jacobs was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury, asdf reports.
Impact Coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Jacobs would have a cap on his reps to begin Week 2 prep, and the reason for the running back's limitations has become known. Both Jacobs and MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) operated in such a manner Wednesday, which leaves Emanuel Wilson as the only healthy RB on the Packers' active roster at the moment. Jacobs will have two more chances to get back to all activity this week before the team potentially gives him a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Colts.

Limited in practice Jacobs (undisclosed) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Matt LaFleur provided the update before Wednesday's practice but didn't comment on the nature of Jacobs' injury/ailment. The Packers' new running back played 72 percent of snaps in Friday's 34-20 loss to Philadelphia, handling 16 of the team's 20 RB carries and three of the six RB targets en route to 104 total yards. Any limitations for Week 2 against Indianapolis would open up more playing time for Emanuel Wilson and/or MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring), and the Packers generally figure to lean on their rushing attack with QB Malik Willis expected to replace Jordan Love (MCL).

Logs 104 total yards in GB debut Jacobs rushed 16 times for 84 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in a loss to the Eagles on Friday.
Impact Jacobs started slowly, gaining just four yards on six carries in the first half. However, the Alabama product looked much more explosive after halftime, ripping off three runs of over 10 yards, including a 32-yarder early in the fourth period that helped set up a Green Bay field goal. It was an altogether promising first game as a Packer for Jacobs, who surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in three of his five campaigns with the Raiders.
