In Addition to Packers’ Flight Problems, Their Star Running Back, Josh Jacobs, May Be Grounded for Matchup with Cardinals

The Packers' departure delay was caused by a mechanical issue requiring a replacement plane from Detroit, delaying arrival by over five hours before their NFL game.

  • On Saturday, the Green Bay Packers players and coaches faced a flight delay exceeding five hours before departing for Phoenix, with the plane pushing back at 7:05 p.m. CT instead of the scheduled 1:30 p.m.
  • After the players' plane developed an issue, a source told ESPN the Packers' two charter planes were affected, requiring a replacement flown from Detroit while the staff plane left on time at 1:15 p.m. CT.
  • ESPN reported that running back Josh Jacobs is questionable with an illness and a calf injury added on Friday, and he has played 240 of 320 offensive snaps this season.
  • Josh Jacobs boarded the delayed flight and if he cannot play the Packers would start backup Emanuel Wilson, who has 84 yards on 18 carries; the team was not at the 53-player limit.
  • Cornerback Keisean Nixon's addition to the report means both Nixon and Nate Hobbs are questionable, while Arron Mosby was called up and Pierre Strong promoted for depth.
