RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) is expected to play against the Lions

The Green Bay Packers will have both their quarterback and running back available for Sunday's NFC North showdown against the Detroit Lions. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, not only will Jordan Love play with a groin injury, but running back Josh Jacobs is also expected to play with an ankle injury.

Jacobs injured his ankle in the Packers' win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday. He missed practice on Wednesday but was confident he could overcome the injury and play on Sunday. Jacobs was able to practice on a limited basis on both Thursday and Friday.

“I’ll be good for playing time,” Jacobs said Wednesday.

The Packers listed both Love and Jacobs as questionable.

In eight games this season, Jacobs has completed 145 carries for 667 yards and three touchdowns while catching 17 passes for 115 yards and another touchdown, his first in Green Bay. Jacobs is averaging 83.4 rushing yards per game and nearly 100 yards per game overall.

The rainy conditions at Lambeau Field on Sunday will likely force the Packers to rely heavily on Jacobs and the running game. Can he gain strong yards against the Lions? According to PFF, Jacobs ranks second in yards after contact and fourth in forced missed tackles.

The Packers have a bye in Week 10, so both Love and Jacobs will have time to recover after Sunday.

Inactive players are due 90 minutes before kick-off on Sunday. While Love and Jacobs are expected to play, less is known about the status of center Josh Myers (wrist, questionable) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee, questionable).
