Packers expect Josh Jacobs to boost run game against Lions

The Green Bay Packers are anticipating the return of running back Josh Jacobs this week as they face the Detroit Lions. Jacobs, who missed the first six games while on the Commissioner's Exempt List, was removed from the list on Monday and will practice fully. Coach Matt LaFleur expressed hope that Jacobs can revitalize the struggling run game, which ranks last in the NFL in rushing yards. Jacobs has a history of performance with 2,258 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns over two seasons with the Packers. His current status for the game remains uncertain as he gets back into shape after missing time. The Packers have struggled to find a successful rushing strategy thus far, with no player surpassing 42 rushing yards this season.
