GREEN BAY – Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was the only player who did not participate in the team’s Dec. 10 practice.
During workouts open to the media, Jacobs rode a recovery bike on the sidelines and worked alone while the rest of the team worked out at the Don Houston Center. In Jacobs’ absence, Emmanuel Wilson has assumed starting running back duties.
