Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will undergo finger surgery and is expected to miss two to three weeks, sources told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The Packers are expected to decide Saturday whether to place Jacobs on injured reserve, which would sideline Jacobs for at least four games.
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he didn’t think Jacobs could play through the injury, which occurred when the star halfback broke his right ring finger in the first quarter of the Packers’ Week 9 win against the New England Patriots.
“I don’t think he could,” LaFleur said, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. “He tried last night. He tried to go back in, and he had no grip strength.”
