Josh Jacobs Injury Update
Josh Jacobs’ injury during the Packers’ Week 11 clash with the Giants is thankfully not believed to be season-ending; he hurt his left knee early in the first quarter after being knocked out of bounds and, while he stuck around for a few more plays, it was clear the pain was getting the better of him, so he left for sideline evaluation and was soon ruled out for the day.
Dr. Evan Jeffries, DPT (@GameInjuryDoc), reported on X that Josh Jacobs is out with a knee injury, noting that the play in which his knee hit the ground suggests a possible PCL sprain.
There’s some hope. Packers insiders sound pretty optimistic that he’ll be back sooner rather than later. Still, nobody’s officially ruling out a short absence yet, with more medical tests scheduled for Monday back in Green Bay.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) reported on X that Josh Jacobs is questionable to return after sustaining a knee injury.
Until then, things are up in the air: Jacobs’ knee will be re-checked before any decisions get made about his status for the upcoming game against the Vikings. If you’re tracking his return, know that the coaches and everyone watching are all busy refreshing injury logs like it’s a stock ticker because, hey, Green Bay needs him: he racked up 40 yards on seven carries before leaving, and his season line (second in rushing touchdowns, 608 yards through nine games) speaks for itself.
Head coach Matt LaFleur summed it up best whenever a player, especially one as crucial as Jacobs, can’t finish a game, it raises the collective blood pressure. Still, the Packers pieced together a win, with backup Emanuel Wilson stepping up and Jordan Love gutting out his own shoulder soreness.
So, there’s optimism but no guarantees until the test results are in. Maybe keep your fantasy swaps on standby just in case, but unless news breaks of something more serious after Monday’s assessment, expect Jacobs back and don’t be surprised if he’s putting on that green and gold again as soon as next weekend.
