Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery to repair a broken finger, head coach Matt LaFleur announced Monday, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
The three-time Pro Bowler is out indefinitely and could be placed on injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.
Jacobs sustained the injury while stiff-arming a defender in the first quarter of the Packers’ 45-27 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. He didn’t return to the game, finishing with five yards on four carries.
In Jacobs’ absence, Kaleb Johnson led the way on the ground, racking up 68 yards and a touchdown. Pierre Strong Jr. also contributed 22 rushing yards, while fellow backup MarShawn Lloyd missed the game due to a knee injury.
