Josh Jacobs is still on track to hit the field for Sunday’s game against the Lions. This isn’t just some regular update, either. The man is currently exempt from the 53-man roster, having just returned from the commissioner’s list earlier this week. You don’t see that every day, but it looks like he’s ready to roll anyway.
LaFleur’s Confident, With a Catch
Head coach Matt LaFleur pretty much confirmed it on Friday, saying he believes Jacobs has absolutely shown what’s needed to be available for this massive divisional matchup. Look, coaches are always cautious, right? LaFleur added, “But, again, we’ll get through it and see how he’s feeling, the confidence he has in himself, which I think is pretty strong.” He wrapped it up by saying those final conversations will go down after practice. So, while it’s not 100% until the cleats hit the turf, the vibe is strong. Jacobs is itching to get back out there, and the coach knows it.
What Jacobs Brings To The Field
Let’s not forget what this guy can do. Last season, Jacobs was an absolute beast in 15 games. He rushed for a whopping 929 yards, punched in 13 touchdowns on the ground, and wasn’t just a one-trick pony. He hauled in 36 passes for another 282 yards and grabbed a receiving touchdown too. Those are the kind of numbers that change games, especially when you’re talking about a crucial divisional battle. Having that kind of firepower back, even with the quirky roster status, is a massive boost.
So, get ready for Sunday. All eyes will be on Jacobs and how he performs in this huge divisional showdown against the Lions. This could be the spark that ignites their season, and you know he’s ready to deliver.
