“We’ll see how he feels [Dec. 12] Packers coach Matt LaFleur said during a Dec. 11 pre-practice press conference.
He seems to be turning a corner and feeling better after totaling 169 yards and a touchdown in his past two games against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears.
“Anytime a guy doesn’t practice, it’s always a problem. We’ll see,” LaFleur said. “He keeps fighting. He’s doing everything he can to get ready to go.”
With the exception of Jacobs, every other player on the active roster practiced for the Packers on Dec. 11.
