The Green Bay Packers didn't miss a beat without Josh Jacobs in the lineup in Week 12 thanks to fellow running back Emanuel Wilson.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJacobs suffered a knee contusion in Week 11 that forced him to sit last week, and in his absence Wilson had a fantastic performance with 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns to go along with two catches for 18 yards.
Unfortunately for Wilson, his time as the team's starter was short-lived, as Jacobs is back in the lineup in Week 13.
Is Emanuel Wilson playing today?
Yes, Wilson is active for the Week 13 contest against the Detroit Lions, but as we previously stated he's back to a reserve role behind Jacobs, so his touches will be limited on Thursday.
But, hey, maybe he can fall into the end zone and vulture a touchdown off Jacobs at some point.
