Josh Jacobs Sustains Knee Injury, Expected to Avoid Season-Ending Damage
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs sustained a knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 27-20 win against the New York Giants and did not return to the game. Following the victory, coach Matt LaFleur indicated that the injury is not expected to be season-ending, though more tests are scheduled for Monday. Prior to exiting, Jacobs had accumulated 40 yards on seven carries. While the injury appears significant, the Packers' ground game still managed 128 yards and a touchdown, with backup Emmanuel Wilson contributing 40 yards and a score. Jacobs has been a productive player for Green Bay, rushing for a career-high 15 touchdowns last season and adding 648 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, helping the Packers improve to 6-3-1.
