Packers RB Josh Jacobs Sidelined by Injury at Training Camp

Josh Jacobs did not participate in the Green Bay Packers' training camp practice on Thursday, designated with a new groin injury.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs missed Thursday's training camp practice due to a groin injury, according to multiple team sources. The injury is not expected to be long-term, but it will likely keep Jacobs sidelined for the team's Friday Family Night game. Jacobs experienced several injury problems during his second season with the Packers in 2025.

With 15 game appearances, the 28-year-old amassed 929 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, along with 36 receptions for 282 yards and one additional score. MarShawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong Jr. are the available running back alternatives behind Jacobs. Chris Brooks is currently on the non-football injury list because of a hamstring injury sustained prior to the commencement of training camp.

The Packers are set to begin their preseason campaign against the Pittsburgh Steelers on August 13, followed by their regular-season opener against division rival Minnesota Vikings on September 13.
