The Green Bay Packers will face off against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football in Week 14 of the NFL season at Ford Field on Thursday. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. EST.
On Monday, running back Josh Jacobs was listed as a limited participant in Green Bay’s first Week 14 injury report due to a calf injury. While Jacobs will surely be motivated to suit up for Thursday’s NFC North rivalry game, NFL bettors are now preparing for a scenario in which Green Bay’s backup running backs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks wil be called on to handle the Packers’ rushing load by committee, the most likely scenario if Jacobs were to miss the game.
Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown and David Montgomery did not appear on the Lions’ first practice report of Week 14. This is a welcome change for Lions fans, as both St. Brown and Montgomery appeared on Detroit’s Week 13 injury reports before ultimately being cleared to play on Thanksgiving.
