Protecting your identity

Jacobs was labeled questionable to return, and then was ruled out of the game due to the knee injury. Elsewhere on the injury report, LaFleur classified kicker Brandon McManus as day-to-day after he missed Sunday’s game upon re-aggravating his right quad injury. The Packers were able to do further tests the day after the game to determine the severity of the injury. It also appears likely that defensive end Lukas Van Ness plays in Week 12 against the Vikings for the first time since suffering a foot injury in Week 6. Van Ness practiced in a limited capacity last Thursday and Friday for the first time since the injury, but didn’t play on Sunday.
