Josh Jacobs (knee) is active for Week 15 against the Broncos.It was rumored earlier in the day that Jacobs was expected to play, but it has now been confirmed. Jacobs was not listed among the team's inactives released for Week 15, meaning he'll be good to go against a stout Broncos defense. Backup Emanuel Wilson is also active after being listed as questionable, but can't be trusted for fantasy this week. While Jacobs is active, the Packers did declare RB Pierre Strong, OL Donovan Jennings, DL Quinton Bohanna, WR Savion Williams, DL Nazir Stackhouse, and DL Barryn Sorrell inactive for Week 15.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (illness) plans to play against the Broncos in Week 15.With Josh Jacobs (knee) expected to play, Wilson's availability doesn't appear to be crucial for the first round of the fantasy playoffs. He's still listed as questionable. The team already elevated Pierre Strong from the practice squad and he could fill in as the backup if either of the Packers' top two backs are ultimately ruled out.
Emanuel Wilson Now Questionable For Week 15Packers RB Emanuel Wilson has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with an illness.
