Packers RB Josh Jacobs working through minor hamstring injury to start OTAs
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs wasn’t on the field participating during the first session of OTAs this week. Coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs, who signed a three-year deal with the Packers to replace Aaron Jones, is dealing with a minor hamstring injury.
“He’s working through a little hamstring issue,” LaFleur explained Tuesday. “I know everybody’s going to freak out but he’s on the mend, he’s doing a good job and we anticipate him back pretty shortly.”
Jacobs, 26, has never missed a game with a hamstring injury at the NFL level, but he did miss two games after injuring his hamstring before the 2017 season at Alabama. Last year, Jacobs missed four games with a deep thigh bruise.
