Jacobs Active; Packers Elevate Pierre Strong

The Packers elevated RB Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad for their Week 7 trip to Arizona after Josh Jacobs was limited by a calf strain and an illness and was listed a game‑time decision. Green Bay said Jacobs would undergo a pregame workout to determine availability while preparing Emanuel Wilson to start if needed, with Strong added for backfield depth. Despite the concern, Jacobs was cleared, activated and played in the game, helping seal the Packers’ win while managing the strained calf. He entered the game with 98 carries for 359 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season and was in contention for a rare streak of three straight games with 150+ scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs. The Packers also activated OT Jacob Monk and elevated DE Arron Mosby, while the Cardinals elevated veteran RB D’Ernest Johnson and emphasized game‑planning to stop Green Bay’s space‑based run offense.
