GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers are unsure whether their two best running backs will be available for Sunday’s game against Denver.
Green Bay placed Emmanuel Wilson on the injury report Saturday due to illness and labeled him questionable. Josh Jacobs has been listed as questionable for Friday with a knee issue.

Jacobs did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he practiced on a limited basis Friday.
After earning Pro Bowl honors last season, Jacobs has rushed 206 times for 817 yards and 12 touchdowns this year. In the only game Jacobs missed this year, Wilson started in his place and rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns to help the Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-6.
The NFC North-leading Packers (9-3-1) will seek their fifth straight win when they visit the Broncos (11-2) on Sunday. The Denver Nuggets have won 10 consecutive games and occupy the first place in the AFC West.
