Josh Jacobs Needs Surgery on Broken Finger
The Packers won’t be able to tape up Josh Jacobs’ broken finger and hope for the best.
Matt LaFleur said Monday that Jacobs will need surgery on his broken right ring finger, explaining that playing through the injury simply wasn’t an option.
“He tried last night, he just had no grip strength,” LaFleur said.
According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Jacobs is expected to undergo surgery this week and could miss up to three weeks.
For Green Bay, the challenge now is figuring out how to handle the backfield while Jacobs recovers. His absence puts more pressure on the likes of Kaleb Johnson, MarShawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong to keep the ground game productive without him.
