Packers’ Wednesday injury report features Love, Golden & Watson, but not Jacobs

By admin — In News — October 21, 2026

   ​The Green Bay Packers have released their first injury report of the week ahead of the Week 7 contest against the Detroit Lions and it had some notable names on it, including quarterback Jordan Love and wide receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, but not running back Josh Jacobs.The injury report was an estimation, so that’s something to keep in mind, but Love, Golden and Watson were all listed as limited participants.Golden has a shoulder injury, Love is dealing with a back issue and Watson is listed with an ankle injury. None of the three players were included on last week’s injury report, so they’re new additions this week.MORE: NFC power rankings for Week 7Meanwhile, Jacobs was not listed on the injury report, which means he was an estimated full-go on the first injury report he was eligible for this season since being removed from the Commissioner’s Exempt List on Monday.Packers held only what they called a job-through today so practice participations are estimated, but only one DNP today.

Had they been non-participants, that would have been more concerning.The Packers will release their second injury report of the week on Thursday, so we’ll know more then.MORE: Bold predictions for NFL Week 7As of right now, we’d expect all three to suit up.What this means for JacobsGreen Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (8) runs for a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the fourth quarter at Acrisure Stadium.
