Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is inactive for the Sunday game against the visiting Minnesota Vikings.
Jacobs had been listed as questionable due to a knee injury. The three-time Pro Bowl selection sustained the injury during Green Bay's 27-20 victory over the New York Giants last Sunday.

Signed to a four-year deal in March 2024, Jacobs has 7,522 rushing yards and 72 rushing touchdowns in 100 career games.
Listed as active for the Packers for the first time since Week 6 is defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness, who has been out with a foot injury.
Also inactive for Green Bay are rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, linebackers Quay Walker and Jamon Johnson, cornerback Nate Hobbs, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings and kicker Lucas Havrisik.
Inactive for the Vikings (4-6) are linebacker Austin Keys, offensive linemen Joe Huber and Walter Rouse, tight end Ben Yurosek, outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and defensive lineman Elijah Williams.
