Jacobs was removed from the Commissioner's Exempt list and is expected to play for the Packers in Week 7. His usage history leads to expectations of bellcow usage upon return. The Packers' run game has struggled without Jacobs. Those who held on through the first couple of months should be rewarded with RB1 production in the second half of the season.

Jacobs returns from exempt list; expected bellcow role with fresh legs for RB1 upside.

Jacobs was removed from the Commissioner's Exempt list and is expected to play for the Packers in Week 7. His usage history leads to expectations of bellcow usage upon return. The Packers' run game has struggled without Jacobs, and the source notes it's not a stretch to think Jacobs can show up with fresh legs and immediately deliver elite production. Some reports suggest Jacobs may be a couple of weeks away from his typical workload, but those who held on should be rewarded with RB1 production in the second half of the season.
