  "summary": "NFL insider Tom Pelissero has revealed that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs underwent successful surgery on his fractured ring finger on Friday in Los Angeles. The injury occurred during the team's 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots, leaving Jacobs' availability in question. Pelissero reported that Jacobs is expected to return to the Packers in the next several weeks. Jacobs missed six games due to a domestic dispute, but his three games since returning have not been as productive as hoped. With Jacobs sidelined for the next several weeks, Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd could take on a bigger workload for the Packers. The team faces a challenging matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, who have one of the league's top defenses, on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. ET.",
