Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs to miss rest of season with ACL injury

One of the good stories to the Lions’ season has come to an abrupt end.

Starting cornerback Jerry Jacobs will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury that coach Dan Campbell said could take nine months to recover from.

“You feel awful,” Campbell said Monday. “He's improved so much, particularly from spring just to where he's been playing lately. Before he got hurt, he had already been doing some good things.

“You don't want any of your guys to get hurt, particularly one of these long-term injuries. The other thing is I hate that it happened now in December.
