‘They’ve got to tell me I can't play for me not to play:’ Packers list Josh Jacobs as questionable for matchup with Broncos

GREEN BAY — Josh Jacobs wants to play. Josh Jacobs always wants to play.

And based on the limited work he put in during Friday’s final practice of the week, the Green Bay Packers running back — and his sore-and-swollen right knee — have a decent chance of playing in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.

“Just talking to him, it sounds like he’s feeling pretty good,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said. “We’ll see how he responds to the practice.”

Jacobs, who suffered a bone bruise in his knee during the team’s Nov. 16 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and has been dealing with the injury ever since is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup between the NFC North-leading Packers (9-3-1) and the AFC West-leading Broncos (11-2).
