Josh Jacobs is questionable for the Green Bay Packers' Week 12 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday due to a knee injury. The seventh-year running back has yet to miss a game this season, but that streak is in jeopardy as the team mulls a decision on whether or not Jacobs is healthy enough to suit up.

The answer to that question will come Sunday morning. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Packers plan to work out Jacobs in pre-game warmups before deciding whether he can go at 1 p.m. Though his knee is structurally sound, it's still tender from last week's win over the Giants and the Packers have another game on Thanksgiving in four days.

With 11 rushing touchdowns on the season, Jacobs ranks second in the NFL in that category as a big piece to what Green Bay does offensively. His presence would be huge against a tough Minnesota defense to alleviate pressure off Jordan Love.
