Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
Jacobs was removed from the exempt list Monday, and all signs point to the veteran running back making his 2026 season debut against Detroit. Green Bay's backfield production has been abysmal through six weeks, so Jacobs' return can only help the situation. Jordan Love's incredible pass volume could also take a hit with Jacobs returning to the lineup.
