Jacobs will miss at least a few games to start the season; his absence or rusty return doesn't help the Cowboys' offensive production and playoff positioning outlook.NegativeInjurySep 13, 2026
Jacobs is expected to miss at least the opening game and possibly several games to start the 2026 season. The source predicts: "They open on the road at U.S. Bank without Parsons and without Jacobs. That's a 0-1 start if we do our job." Jacobs' absence, combined with Parsons' ACL injury, creates a difficult early schedule (Jets on the road, short week at home vs. Atlanta) that could result in a 1-3 or 2-3 start. Even if Jacobs returns, coming back rusty does not help the Packers' early-season outlook.NegativeInjurySep 12, 2026
Jacobs is out on the commissioner's list heading into the Vikings-Packers matchup, removing Green Bay's best offensive player. The source identifies this as a major Vikings advantage, with Drew noting the Packers lack both Jacobs and Micah Parsons (their best defensive player), creating a matchup edge that gives Minnesota an 8-to-10-point advantage.NegativeInjurySep 11, 2026

Packers RB with 13 rushing TDs in 2025 and 12+ rushing TDs in three of his past four seasons faces a tough Week 1 matchup; SportsLine's model projects Minnesota's defense will hold Jacobs to just 3.4 yards per carry on Sunday despite his strong recent production.NegativeInjurySep 8, 2026
Jacobs is likely out for Week 1 against the Vikings, representing a significant absence of the Packers' star running back and most dangerous offensive weapon; his absence should create more opportunities for the Vikings defense to focus on coverage and exploit the Packers' shaky offensive line.NegativeInjurySep 7, 2026
Running back Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List due to a domestic violence incident from the offseason, making him unavailable for Week 1 and creating immediate backfield uncertainty for the Packers.NegativeRoleSep 5, 2026
Jacobs is on the commissioner's exempt list for an indefinite period following a domestic incident for which he is making a court appearance. It is unclear when Jacobs will return to the Packers lineup, but there is speculation that it may not be soon. This leaves a group of mediocre running backs led by Marshawn Lloyd to fill his absence.
