Team news: Green Bay Packers | Page 5

Josh Jacobs has a left knee contusion and could play against the Vikings on Sunday, LaFleur said.

“Potentially. We’ll see where he’s at,” Matt LaFleur said, via Weston Hodkiewicz of the team website. “It’s a contusion. It’s more or less trying to get the swelling down. Unfortunately, that’s a pretty hard surface over there [at MetLife Stadium], and that’s a byproduct of that.”

Jacobs avoided a major knee injury, which is the most important news. Jacobs left the game in the first half after rushing for 40 yards on seven carries in the win over the Giants. Wilson may be some extra work this week even if Jacobs plays, but the injury reports should give us a better idea of his chances. It's a big divisional game against the Vikings in Week 12.

Packers standout RB Josh Jacobs’ knee is structurally sound.

Good news for the Packers and Jacobs' fantasy owners. Rapoport went on to say Jacobs is considered day to day, and that tag gives him a shot to suit up in Week 12. But, Rapoport added in his post Jacobs could end up missing Week 12's game against the Vikings. The good news is no surgery is needed. We'll keep an eye on the injury report this week, but the Vikings-Packers game is an early Sunday game which should give owners time to adjust lineups if he's a game-time call. Wilson should get a bulk of the workload if Jacobs can't play. Brooks has seen limited time this season while Lloyd has been questionable to play that past three weeks with a hamstring injury, but has yet to play and see a snap this season.

The Jets are making a quarterback change, benching Justin Fields in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor, per source.

New York faces Baltimore in Week 12 and ranks last in the league in passing yards per game, after Fields again struggled in Week 11. The Jets have seemed tempted to make this change since before their bye week, and finally pull the trigger. Taylor should at least give some passing consistency to the offense vs. Fields, but he won't have his top target in Wilson to work with. Fantasy owners should at least keep an eye on guys like Metchie, Williams and Mitchell, who are all younger WRs who could emerge with fantasy value with Taylor under center. Rookie TE Mason Taylor could also see more quality targets.

Jaylen Warren on his ankle injury:

“I could have (returned), but it was part of being smart. We got a lot of games ahead of us, so they’re looking out for me.”

It's good news for Warren and his fantasy owners. And, it gives him a shot to play in Week 12's game at the Bears. Injury reports later this week will be key, and the game is an early Sunday contest so owners should have plenty of time to adjust either way. Gainwell should get the bulk of the work if Warren ends up not playing and the rookie Johnson will get some touches well.

Packers running Josh Jacobs left Sunday’s game against the Giants with a knee injury.

Jacobs went down in the fist quarter, initially came back for a brief time before heading back to the locker room. He was originally listed as questionable to return before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. Jacobs rushed seven times for 40 yards. Emmanuel Wilson has taken over and has scored a touchdown.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love is questionable to return with a left shoulder injury.

Love took a shot to his left shoulder as he was sliding. He went to the locker room shortly afterwards. Malik Willis is now in at quarterback for Green Bay.

Romeo Doubs was questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles due to a chest injury, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Doubs didn't return to the game. The story said Doubs was holding his chest following a Packers possession in the fourth quarter and was later spotted walking into the locker room. The severity of the injury was still unclear as of early Tuesday, but we'll update as we know more. The Packers are banged up in the pass-catching department, including WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft who are both on IR. Matthew Golden didn't play on Monday night either. It left Watson and Wicks as the top-two WRs.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has avoided naming a starting quarterback ahead of the team’s last two games and he plans to make it three in a row this week.

Glenn ended his opening statement at Monday’s press conference by letting reporters know that they shouldn’t bother with questions about whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor will get the start against the Patriots on Thursday night.

“Please don’t ask me anything about the quarterbacks,” Glenn said. “You know I’m not going to tell you and I don’t want to waste my time when it comes to that, when it comes to who’s starting.”

Fields has started each of the last two Jets games, both of which were wins. But, Fields was only 6-of-11 for 54 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns with 42 of the yards coming on a dump-off that running back Breece Hall broke for a touchdown, the story pointed out. The Jets were also helped by two special team touchdowns. The Jets play on Thursday night against the Patriots so the question will have to be answered a little sooner this week.

Garrett Wilson (knee) was limited in practice today. Tyrod Taylor (knee) was a full participant.

We should get used to the remaining Jets players taking quite a few days off while they go down with the sinking ship, so we'll hold off making sweeping fantasy judgements until/unless Wilson misses some more practice time.

Aaron Glenn has yet to make a Week 10 QB decision, but Taylor being a full participant means Justin Fields isn't in the clear.

LaFleur added that Matthew Golden (shoulder) is considered day-to-day not week-to-week.

It's good news for Golden and fantasy owners he gets the day to day tag, which gives him a chance to play in Week 10. Unfortunately, it's a Monday night game against the Eagles and a game-time tag could be a risk for fantasy owners. Golden likely isn't starting in your fantasy lineup outside of very deep formats, anyway. With Wicks also out the last two weeks, the WR duties look to fall on Doubs, Watson and Williams if Golden isn't able to play.
