Josh Jacobs is returning for his second game of the season after missing most of the Packers' recent span due to injury. He wasn't a very effective rusher in his first game back as he shakes off the rust, but the Panthers' rush defense is 32nd in every rushing category except touchdowns per game, presenting a potential bounce-back opportunity for Jacobs in this matchup.NegativeMatchupOct 28, 2026
Josh Jacobs, a three-time Pro Bowler, returned last week from a six-game suspension and had 11 carries for just 36 yards in his first game back. Over his seven-year career, Jacobs has averaged 74.0 rushing yards per game. The Packers enter as the least productive rushing team in the NFL at 59.9 yards per game, but the Panthers run defense will need to hold Jacobs well below his career average to keep Green Bay's offense one-dimensional. His return and potential ramp-up in usage presents a key matchup against Carolina's run defense.
