Green Bay Packers received some positive news regarding Josh Jacobs' knee injury that was sustained during Sunday's win over the Giants. Jacobs won't have to undergo surgery as his knee is structurally sound, according to NFL Media. He is considered day-to-day ahead of this week's matchup against the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings.
The injury occurred the first half of Green Bay's eventual 27-20 win over the Giants. Jacobs had 40 yards on seven carries prior to getting injured.
With Jacobs out, the Packers' ground attack was led by backup Emmanuel Wilson, who rushed for 40 yards on a touchdown on 11 carries. Green Bay ran for a solid 128 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries despite Jacobs' absence.
While it isn't season-ending, Jacobs' injury has left his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings in doubt. That's clearly not a good thing for the Packers, as Jacobs has been one of their most productive players since the start of the 2024 season.
Last season, his first with the Packers, Jacobs rushed for a career-high 15 touchdowns while helping Green Bay clinch a playoff berth. He's rushed for 648 yards and 11 touchdowns this season for the Packers, who improved to 6-3-1 on the year following Sunday's win over the Giants.
