Josh Jacobs Injury Update: Why Packers RB Exited Week 9

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs left the team's Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots with a hand injury. Jacobs sustained the injury in the first quarter when his hand appeared to get caught in defender Craig Woodson's facemask and bent backwards. According to the Fox broadcast team, his return to the game was deemed questionable after he retreated to the locker room.

Jacobs had recorded four carries for five yards before exiting the contest. In his absence, the Packers turned to running backs Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson, the latter scoring a rushing touchdown as Green Bay dealt with ongoing struggles in their ground game.
