Packers RB Josh Jacobs to Have Surgery on Broken Finger
- Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery to repair a fractured finger suffered during Sunday's 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots, potentially sidelining him up to three weeks, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
- Attempting a stiff arm against safety Craig Woodson, Jacobs fractured his finger during the game. Medical staff tried taping and a cast, but he lacked grip strength to continue playing.
- Rushing for 68 yards on 14 carries, running back Kaleb Johnson powered Green Bay to 129 yards total—breaking a nine-game drought under 100 yards. Head coach Matt LaFleur called the effort "big time."
- With second-string running back MarShawn Lloyd sidelined by a knee injury, Green Bay faces roster uncertainty ahead of the trade deadline. Management has been linked to Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor to address the position.
- The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday before an unusual schedule of extended mini-byes. Jacobs could potentially return for the December 6 game against the New Orleans Saints, pending recovery.
