Both Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) and Christian Watson (chest/shoulder) didn’t practice today for the Packers. Jacobs had a significant limp in the locker room, and had a brace around his knee. Their status for Saturday night’s game against the Chicago Bears is still unknown.
Josh Jacobs, walking with a significant limp in locker room and wearing a stimulation bracelet around his injured knee, makes it clear he intends to play in Chicago. “For me, it’s harder to watch games than it is to play hurt. Ryan Wood
But how effective is he’s going to be?
I see the Bears winning this one with the Lions having to hope the 49ers beat them.
Yeah? Lions are in just like that? Or do that have to win 3 in a row still? Something they haven’t done since September. Love the optimism, but y’all are whistling by the graveyard assuming they can go 3-0 with 2 road games, one in the snow and freezing temps against the 2nd best rushing team while the Lions haven’t been able to stop the run lately
Packers bearly (pun intended) beat Chicago at Lambeau Field on December 7:
For that game, they had a healthy Micah Parsons, Josh Jacobs, and Christian Watson. Parsons definitely won’t play, Jacobs doesn’t sound healthy, nor does Watson.
I think the Bears are going to beat the Packers by 10-14 points.
I’m way more concerned with the Lions doing what they need to do to make the playoffs. Shepps definitely going through some growing pains. I mean if they could have done anything against the Rams we could have won that game.
GB losing Parsons is … devastating for them. He seemed to be an x factor, at least from the games I watched. That said, I think they simply have more talent than Chicago does and the better quarterback.
