Josh Jacobs to have surgery on his broken finger
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs dropped out early against the New England Patriots due to a broken ring finger on his right hand, which got caught on a facemask. Now, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz is reporting that Jacobs will have surgery and can miss up to three weeks — which thankfully includes the Packers’ bye week.
If the Packers do want to work a three-week timeline with Jacobs, it means that he won’t be going on the injured reserve. That’s an important piece of the puzzle, as Green Bay is running out of injured reserve spots that will eventually be designated to return.
