Packers DE Micah Parsons said on Wednesday that he will not play 50-60 snaps as he did before when he returns to games. "My conditioning right now is probably the worst it's been in my career," Parsons said. "Am I gonna go out there and play 50, 60 snaps how I was doing before? Absolutely not. It's just not realistic. My body's not there yet. I don't even think my knee's built for that yet. I didn't go through training camp." Asked whether he would be "the All-Pro Micah" this year, Parsons said, "Probably not until later, after I go through all my phases and things like that."

Packers WR Christian Watson was practicing on Wednesday. Watson said he broke a rib in last Thursday's win over the Panthers, a game in which he caught eight passes for 113 yards. LB Zaire Franklin, OL Sean Rhyan, OL Travis Glover, and TE Josh Whyle were the players on the 53-man roster not practicing.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see Watson use extra protection like a flak jacket while he deals with this rib injury. It's a pain-tolerance issue, and if he's practicing on Wednesday, Watson should be able to play in Week 9. We've got him as a WR1 against the Patriots in Week 9. |

Packers DE Micah Parsons will practice on Wednesday for the first time in almost 11 months, head coach Matt LaFleur said. Parsons' 21-day window to be activated from the PUP list is now open.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur said Parsons is a "full go" to do individual work at practice. That's not a lock to put him back on the field in Week 9, but obviously Parsons is getting close. The Packers want him healthy for a Super Bowl run, so expect Parsons to get eased back into the lineup when he does return. |

Packers WR Christian Watson is sore but "doing great" as he deals with a broken rib, the Packers' passing game coordinator Jason Vrable said on Monday. "We'll see as the week goes," Vrable said, adding that Watson will do everything possible to get his body ready for Sunday's game at the Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Watson caught eight passes for 113 yards in Thursday's win over the Panthers after saying he broke a rib during the game. We'll be monitoring his progress daily when the team begins preparation for Week 9 on Wednesday. |

Packers HC Matt LaFleur addressed RB Josh Jacobs on Monday after case files involving Jacobs were released on Friday. "We're aware of the prior allegations on Josh. We're going to allow the NFL to do its process," LaFleur said. "But I would anticipate him being a member of us moving forward."
| Footballguys view: The NFL's investigation into Jacobs remains open and active and is now looking into the most recent allegations, as well as seeking additional information and evidence. We're all flying blind on this one, but if you're currently rostering and planning to play Jacobs, you'll need to monitor developments before making lineup decisions each week. |

There is no immediate change to the status of Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who remains eligible to play. Jacobs spent six games on the exempt list earlier this season.
| Footballguys view: The NFL said in a statement: "We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open." Three more women have accused Jacobs of physical abuse, in addition to the May 2026 victim, according to a Hobart-Lawrence Police Department case file obtained by NBC26. |

Three more women have accused Packers RB Josh Jacobs of physical abuse, in addition to the May 2026 victim, according to a Hobart-Lawrence Police Department case file obtained by NBC26. One of the women told police she did not report abuse from 2022 because Jacobs told her she could be deported. That woman's information was given to police by the May 2026 victim.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs' legal matter has been closed, but an NFL investigation remained open as of Thursday. We could see him suspended by the league for the remainder of the season. At this time, no discipline is set for Jacobs, but obviously this is a situation in motion. |

NBC26 in Green Bay obtained a case file from the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department that includes a second woman accusing Packers RB Josh Jacobs of physical abuse in 2022. The department released hundreds of pages of redacted records from the Jacobs case file but withheld video. Jacobs' legal matter has been closed, but an NFL investigation remains open.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Wednesday that RB Josh Jacobs "didn't play as much as he normally would had he been here this whole time" in Sunday's loss to the Lions. "He's been out for a while. Getting him back in the swing of things," Stenavich said of Jacobs' workload. Jacobs was activated from exempt status on Saturday ahead of that game.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is going to get more work as he continues to get back into football shape. We see him leading the team in touches from the backfield, and that makes him a borderline RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Packers WR Matthew Golden was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
| Footballguys view: It is the second straight day Golden was estimated as DNP after also being listed that way on Monday. Golden was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Lions but returned and finished the game, so there's reason for some optimism. The Packers will file their final injury report for Thursday night's game on Wednesday. |

Packers WR Matthew Golden has returned to Sunday's game against the Lions after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Although Golden finished the game with a team-high 12 targets, he was only able to convert them into six catches for 39 yards. Despite the quiet game, Golden remains a solid fantasy starter with upside going forward. The Packers play the Panthers on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Packers LB Zaire Franklin (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions after taking a knee to his shin during a collision at Thursday's practice, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. The team does not anticipate Franklin landing on injured reserve, with LaFleur saying, "I don't think it's going to be anything too long term." LaFleur expressed confidence in LBs Isaiah McDuffie, Ty'Ron Hopper and Nick Niemann, and Sunday would mark Hopper's third career start. It will be only the second game Franklin has missed in nine NFL seasons, snapping a streak of 48 consecutive games played.

Packers QB Jordan Love (back) did not receive a game status for Sunday's game against the Lions and will be available. WRs Christian Watson (ankle), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Savion Williams (ankle) also have no game status and will be available.
| Footballguys view: The Packers were liberal with limited practices this week, but Love, Watson, Golden, and Williams are all cleared to play. Love is a QB1 in a matchup against the Lions, Watson and Golden are both high-end WR2s, and Williams has some appeal as a desperation streamer in a should-be shootout. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions as long as he gets through Friday's practice and continues to trend in the right direction, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list and took his "first handoff in a while" on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The Packers' offense has been fantastic despite one of the league's most putrid run games. Matt LaFleur has deployed a run-first offense since Jordan Love took over in 2023, but it has leaned more toward a pass-happy attack without Jacobs through the first six weeks of this season. Jacobs may need a ramp-up period, but the Packers will hope to get him to 100 percent soon. He's an RB2 in Week 7 with RB1 upside over the second half of the season. |

Packers LB Zaire Franklin will not play Sunday against the Lions after taking a knee to the shin in a practice collision, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. The injury is not an IR situation. Franklin, a defensive captain, is the second Packers linebacker sidelined, as the team has already lost LB Edgerrin Cooper.

Packers QB Jordan Love was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. Love was limited on Wednesday with a back injury and said there was 'no chance' it keeps him out of Sunday's game against the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Love was pretty banged up after Week 6. He was limited on Wednesday, but a full practice on Thursday puts Love on the right track to play in Week 7. We've got him in the top tier of fantasy quarterbacks against the Lions. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs took a handoff on Thursday, described as "the first Josh Jacobs handoff in a while." Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list, and the Packers said earlier in the week that he would get a "full week of work" ahead of Sunday's game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Packers OC Adam Stenavich says Jacobs "looks great" as the team prepares for Week 7 against the Lions. Upon his return Sunday, we have Jacobs in the RB2 range perhaps closer to a flex play. We'll see what his usage is, but the Packers could use him early and often as they need to run the ball better than they have been without Jacobs so far this year. |

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday there is no concern about WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Matthew Golden (shoulder), even though both are on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Both receivers are a little bit banged up, but they'll be out there and should be heavily involved against the Lions on Sunday. In fact, we have both Watson and Golden as top-10 WRs in Week 7. |
