One of the last of a dying breed in the NFL, Jacobs has been the undisputed bell cow of the backfield since joining the Packers in 2024. His 525 carries and 28 touchdowns over the last two years is a testament to that. Unfortunately, he's had a ton of mileage in his seven-year career and as he enters his age 28 season, things could be slowing down. Jacobs missed two games, and parts of others last season with nagging leg injuries and his efficiency numbers dipped. If you believe these things are just a blip, then there is nothing talent or schematic keeping him from jumping back into the top-5 area. The depth chart behind him is a few unproven youngsters, and Green Bay has the passing game to keep defenses honest. If the legal issues turn out to be more smoke than fire, Jacobs has a clear path to solid RB1 status.

Groin injury for Josh Jacobs RB expected to be sidelined at least one week By: Doug Orth | Tue Aug 11, 11:50 pm

| | HC Matt LaFleur on Josh Jacobs: "He's gonna be out for at least this week."
(Packers.com - Wes Hodkiewicz)
FFToday's Take: Jacobs reportedly injured his groin on Monday or Tuesday. As a team with one of the most conservative medical staffs in the league, don't expect Jacobs to return anytime before the end of next week. MarShawn Lloyd is reportedly having a good camp and staying healthy for the first time in his NFL career, so he has a chance to make this backfield something more than "The Josh Jacobs Show." Jacobs should remain a solid pick in the third or fourth round of drafts for now, but Lloyd now warrants consideration in the later rounds.
