Packers starting Don Jackson at running back
Green Bay Packers running back Don Jackson will start in Thursday's Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears.
Jackson draws the start with zero NFL snaps to his name, being called up from the practice squad just days ago. Behind him in Green Bay's backfield are wide receiver Ty Montgomery and recently acquired Knile Davis, who was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs 48 hours ago. Montgomery has five carries this season while Davis has one. The Bears are 1-5. Happy Thursday Night Football.
Jackson is numberFire's 28th-ranked running back for Week 7, projecting him to rush 12 times for 50 yards and 0.25 touchdowns Thursday night, while also adding 16 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on 2 catches.
