Packers invite star’s brother to rookie minicamp, report.

The Green Bay Packers are adding intrigue to their offseason with Isaiah Jacobs, the brother of star running back Josh Jacobs, joining the team’s rookie minicamp as a tryout to earn a spot on the 90-man roster. Isaiah, who played at UAB after starting at Maryland and spending time at junior college, posted a 2025 season with 342 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 15 receptions, and 82 receiving yards.

Key context: Josh Jacobs is returning for a third season with the Packers, and Isaiah’s minicamp invitation signals depth-chart competition behind Josh. The Packers did not draft any running backs in 2026 but did add undrafted free agent Jaden Nixon from UCF, and Isaiah would be competing with other unsigned rookies for a roster spot. The team’s running back room currently includes Chris Brooks, MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr., and Damien Martinez, with Emanuel Wilson departing in free agency.

Key takeaways:
– Isaiah Jacobs attends Green Bay’s rookie minicamp as a tryout, aiming to earn a spot behind Josh Jacobs.
– Isaiah’s 2025 stats at UAB: 342 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs, 39 receptions for 178 receiving yards and 1 receiving TD.
– Packers’ current backfield includes multiple veterans and unsigned talent, with no 2026 running back draft picks, highlighting an open competition for depth behind Josh.
