Jacobs is no longer in pain as a result of the injury, but the knee is still swollen.<\/p>\n<p>He will\u00a0return to the lineup as soon as the swelling goes down and he has full range of motion.<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs does not believe it will take that long for that top happen, and he could be in the lineup this Sunday at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n<p>As the Packers\u00a0(6-3-1) prepare for that game, they are in second place in the NFC North, one-half game behind the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers and the Bears have yet to play this season and the ancient rivals will meet in Week 14 in Green Bay and Week 16 in Chicago.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Packers offense needs to be balanced<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Jordan Love\u00a0headlines\u00a0the Packers offense and that unit appears to be quite a bit stronger than the offense theVikings will bring to Lambeau Field this week.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings have been struggling to play consistent offense with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy under center.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy has had issues with his accuracy and poise in the pocket this season. He has thrown for just 842 yards with 6 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings have a pair of the game&#8217;s best receivers in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but McCarthy&#8217;s lack of accuracy has limited their production.<\/p>\n<p>Love has been much more productive for the Packers, completing 210 of 310 passes for 2,421 yards with a 15-3 TD-interception ratio.<\/p>\n<p>The return of Jacobs would make the Packers offense that much more dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packers are preparing for huge game against Vikings and running back Josh Jacobs would like to be in the lineup&#8230;..
