Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will return Thursday against the Detroit Lions after being taken off the team’s injury report.
Jacobs missed one game – a 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings – after hurting his knee Nov. 16 against the New York Giants.
The three-time Pro Bowl tailback leads Green Bay wth 648 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns while also hauling in 28 catches for 237 receiving yards.
Jacobs was a limited participant in each of the Packers’ three practices before being cleared to return.
