Packers' Matt LaFleur Gives Encouraging Josh Jacobs Injury Update
With Packers practice underway this week, Matt LaFleur gave optimism about running back Josh Jacobs' return.
The Green Bay Packers learned some reassuring news about their star running back, Josh Jacobs, as head coach Matt LaFleur announced on Tuesday that Jacobs would be participating in practice. Earlier this month, Jacobs had suffered a groin injury during a practice session, which caused him to miss most of the month and his team's first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite this setback, the injury update from LaFleur provided a glimmer of hope for the Packers, as they aim to succeed in a competitive NFC North. Jacobs' return is crucial for the team, particularly given the depth chart behind him, which includes MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and Pierre Strong Jr., although none of them scored during the preseason loss. The Packers opened their regular season with a road game against the Vikings on September 13.
