6:50 p.m. ET update: Jacobs returned on the Packers next drive.

6:42 p.m. ET update: Jacobs was spotted jogging back from the locker room late in the third quarter. The Packers just punted the ball, so we’ll wait to see if he returns on their next offensive drive.


The Green Bay Packers are rolling over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, but they might have to finish out the game without running back Josh Jacobs. The big back scored his second touchdown of the game in the third quarter and then proceeded to head to the locker room. The team quickly announced he was questionable to return due to cramps.

Jacobs left the game with 99 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He’s likely getting some fluids to try and fix that issue and get back into the game. The Packers lead 24-7 late in the third quarter.
