The Story in 60 Seconds

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will return to the practice field Wednesday for a full week of preparation, with his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions to be determined. Jacobs was removed from the commissioner's exempt list on Monday following a six-week absence, though the NFL's personal conduct policy investigation remains ongoing after he pleaded no contest to two domestic incident misdemeanors.

Head Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Jacobs is eligible to play immediately and could boost a struggling ground game currently averaging an NFL-low 59.8 rushing yards per contest. Meanwhile, edge rusher Micah Parsons will remain out of practice this week as he continues his recovery from a torn ACL.
