Jacobs Returns: Packers RB Cleared for Lions Showdown

Green Bay Packers' key running back Josh Jacobs is set to return for the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. He had been sidelined due to a knee contusion sustained during the Week 10 game against the New York Giants.

Jacobs participated in limited practice sessions throughout the week, successfully gaining clearance and being officially removed from the injury report on Wednesday. This return comes as a significant boost for the Packers' offense heading into a critical division game.

While the upcoming game presents a difficult matchup against a Lions defense that ranks third in limiting fantasy points for running backs, Jacobs has consistently performed as a top-tier fantasy option. His previous encounter with Detroit saw him gain 66 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries, and the potential for high scoring in this game could still lead to a productive outing.
