Packers running back Emanuel Wilson joins Josh Jacobs on injured report

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers are unsure about the availability of either of their top two running backs for Sunday’s game at Denver.

Green Bay added Emanuel Wilson to its injury report Saturday because of an illness and labeled him questionable. Josh Jacobs already had been listed as questionable Friday with a knee issue.

Jacobs didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday, though he did practice on a limited basis Friday.

Jacobs has rushed for 817 yards and 12 touchdowns on 206 carries this year after earning Pro Bowl honors last season. In the only game Jacobs has missed this year, Wilson started in his place and rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns as the Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-6.

The NFC North-leading Packers (9-3-1) will be seeking their fifth straight victory Sunday when they visit the Broncos (11-2). Denver has won 10 straight games to take over first place in the AFC West.

Russell Wilson confirms he’s retiring from the NFL to join CBS Sports

NEW YORK (AP) — Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson confirmed Wednesday in a video posted to social media that that he's retiring from the NFL to take a job with CBS Sports. Wilson's announcement came two days after news broke that he was finalizing a deal to become an analyst on CBS' Sunday NFL pregame show. “As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,” he said in the video. Wilson played 14 seasons after being taken by Seattle in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft out of N.C. State. He spent his first 10 seasons with the Seahawks, leading them to their first Super Bowl championship in the 2013 season. He was traded to Denver after the 2021 season and spent two rocky years with the Broncos before playing one season in Pittsburgh and another for the New York Giants.
