(247NEWSSOURCE/LEARFIELD) – The Packers could be without their top running back once again.
Head coach Matt LaFleur revealed Monday that Josh Jacobs needs surgery on the fractured ring finger on his right hand.
LaFleur wouldn’t rule out the possibility of Jacobs being placed on injured reserve.
If Jacobs is placed on IR, he would miss at least four games.
Jacobs has rushed for 80 yards on 36 carries in three games this season.
LaFleur was asked if the Packers will have to look for running back help.
LaFleur was asked about the run game performance of the team overall.
He said that getting Chris Brooks back would help.
What’s his message to the players who carry the ball? Hang on to it.
LaFleur talked about whether or not that is why they initially went away from Caleb Johnson after he had some fumbling issues.
Do they have something in Caleb Johnson?
Green Bay is currently last in the NFC North at 6-and-3.
