Packers’ Josh Jacobs Undergoes Finger Surgery; RB Chris Brooks Activated
Packers running back Josh Jacobs underwent successful surgery on his fractured right finger on Friday, Tom Pelissero of The Ringer reports. The Packers could have put placed Jacobs on IR on Saturday, but they elected against doing so. That suggests he will miss fewer than four games.
Jacobs suffered his injury in the first quarter against New England in Week 9, limiting him to four carries and 5 yards. Led by a high-octane passing attack, the Packers rolled to a 45-27 win over the Patriots without Jacobs. They also ran for 132 yards on 29 carries. Kaleb Johnson paced the Packers in carries (14) and yards (68). The former Steeler also scored the first touchdown of his two-year career.
