Packers running back Josh Jacobs is expected to be back on the practice field on Friday.
The Packers have been monitoring Jacobs since the 5-foot-10, 223-pound running back first sustained a bone bruise and thigh contusion on his second snap during the team's 27-20 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Nov. 18.
Green Bay started the game on the wrong foot when quarterback Jordan Love threw a rare interception – after not having any in the five previous games – on the opening drive. Chicago, which entered the game as the NFL's takeaway king with 26, including 17 picks, was all ready to pounce with that 18th interception.
When Jacobs crossed the goal line on a 2-yard touchdown run with 3:32 remaining, he had pushed his game totals to 86 yards on 20 carries, and Green Bay was on its way to a 28-21 victory that put the Packers into first place in the NFC North.
