Josh Jacobs could return to Packers practice next week

Packers running back Josh Jacobs has missed more than a week of practice with a groin injury, but his return could be around the corner.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Friday that Jacobs could return to practice next week. LaFleur said that if Jacobs does return, he would likely come back late in the week.

The Packers played their preseason opener on Thursday and they play again next Friday, so it is unlikely that Jacobs would be under consideration to play so soon after making it back to the field.
