Packers held only what they called a job-through today so practice participations are estimated, but only one DNP today.

Josh Jacobs not listed so presumably he’s full go.

Josh Jacobs, with his voice shaky at times, spoke for the first time since May.

On what he had to say about his arrest, his punishment, the lessons learned, his reputation and his return to football: https://t.co/OXUKsKIyju

Jordan Love said there’s no chance this back injury keeps him out on Sunday, but he said today’s walk through was good for his sore back.

Matt LaFleur on Josh Jacobs:

“I believe in second chance.”

LaFleur said the improvement in the offensive line has come from better details and fundamentals. He said they’ve added a few extra minutes to the individual drills, so perhaps that’s helped too.

The Packers are doing a jog-through workout today. Matt LaFleur said it’s because they’re coming off a late Sunday game and also have a Thursday game the following week.

So is two full practices enough to get Josh Jacobs ready to play?

“We’ll see. We’ll work through it.”

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

DT Mazi Smith to the practice squad official, and RB Damon Bankston released.

Packers make roster moves

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

In two training camps, Golden barely dropped any passes, which is a big part of the reason Stenavich said: “I’m not concerned because I know the type of player he is.”

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

Packers OC Adam Stenavich said on Matthew Golden’s drops:

“You just gotta trust yourself.”

Otherwise praised Golden for his big plays.

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon won’t complain about the roughing the passer penalties:

“We can’t foul. It’s continuing to educate, continuing to talk technique and make sure we make the correct decisions in real time, which I know is not easy to do.  Good defenses don’t beat themselves.”

What happens now that Josh Jacobs is eligible to practice and play?

Update: The Packers are planning to sign him to the practice, per source.

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

The Packers held a tryout for DT Mazi Smith, the former first-round pick out of Michigan. Smith was the 26th overall pick of the Cowboys in 2023. He played in one game for the Dolphins this season but was released. Also spent time with the Jets last season.

The official designation for Josh Jacobs:

Packers-Rams is right after their byes.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

Davante Adams is expected to have a procedure on his hamstring tendon to clean it out, with hopes that he can return around the time of the bye or a little after.

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

So likely no Davante Adams for the Thanksgiving eve game against the Packers.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that WR Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and now will be sidelined 6-10 weeks.

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

Micah Parsons will not return to practice this week, per Matt LaFleur.

With the short week following the Lions game, it may be at least another couple weeks.

[Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky]

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Josh Jacobs will practice on Wednesday and get a full week of work but TBD on whether he'll play on Sunday at Detroit.

"We feel like he's in a pretty good spot. He's been training, but he's missed the exposure to football."
