Team news: Green Bay Packers | Page 13

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs – listed as questionable with quad and calf injuries – is expected to play tonight against the #Rams, per sources. Jacobs has an NFL-high 1,634 yards from scrimmage and will look to pad his lead against a depleted Rams defense without Aaron Donald (ankle).

Despite the questionable tag, Jacobs must be plugged into all fantasy lineups. This could enter blowout territory if the Rams really plan to start Baker Mayfield on the other side, so Ameer Abdullah can be considered in deep leagues for desperate managers.

Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers is off the injury report and set to square off vs. Justin Fields.

The Bears defense sets up well for any quarterback, let alone Aaron Rodgers, who has a history of carving them up throughout his career. He is in play as a QB1 for Week 13

Aaron Rodgers said he understands that a conversation will almost certainly be had about his status for the remainder of the season.

That's in large part because of Jordan Love, the third-year backup quarterback who hasn't played much meaningful football in his career. He showed some promise in relief of Rodgers after he left Sunday's game against the Eagles because of the rib injury.

Rodgers said he'd love to finish out the season but understands, "this is a business and there's a lot of us kind of older guys who play a decent amount and they might want to see some younger guys play." He said if the conversation comes up he'd, "approach that with an open mind and without any bitterness or resentment." The Packers are 4-8 and hope is fading fast for a playoff berth.

“I got good news with the scans yesterday," the tweet on to quote Rodgers. The team has said all along they would start Rodgers assuming he's good enough to play. We know we can't always count on what a player says about his own health, but it appears Rodgers could be on track to go in Week 13 in a good matchup against the Bears. Depending on what else we learn about the injury, owners will have to at least think about the possibility of Rodgers reaggravating the injury if he does play.

Jacobs was dealing with an ankle injury heading into Week 12 before running all over the Seahawks. Now dealing with a calf injury, Jacobs is not expected to practice much, if at all, this week because of the calf strain, Pelissero said in his tweet. Pelissero added Jacobs will get around-the-clock treatment. If he can't go, White and Abdullah would likely split up the workload.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hinted that his right thumb might be broken during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and he confirmed it while speaking with reporters in Green Bay on Wednesday.

Rodgers said that he’s played with other broken fingers in the past, but that this is the first time he’s dealt with a broken thumb.

According to the story, Rodgers said surgery was never a consideration and that he thinks he’s played through other injuries that have had more of an impact on his play. Owners who have stuck with Rodgers to this point may want to pay attention to this. With playoff hopes fading, it remains to be seen if the Packers stick with Rodgers for the rest of the season.

If there is anything the Packers (4-7) would like to see from here to the finish line in the final six games of what looks like a lost season -- other than perhaps some game action for backup quarterback Jordan Love -- it’s more of what the rookie receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs can do together.

Fifty-two snaps. That’s all Watson and Doubs have played together this season. Eleven games into the season, and the rookie receivers have been on the field at the same time for what amounts to less than one full game, the story said.

Good news for Jones, who left Week 9 with an ankle injury. He should be comfortably plugged into fantasy lineups, despite a tough matchup against the Cowboys.
