Packers RB Josh Jacobs reportedly needs surgery on fractured finger, out up to 3 weeks

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs left during the first half of Sunday's 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots with a fractured finger.

Per CBS' Matt Zenitz on Monday, Jacobs will require surgery on his fractured finger and will be sidelined for up to three weeks.

Jacobs appeared to sustain the injury while stiff-arming safety Craig Woodson as his fingers got caught in Woodson's facemask.

Jacobs left for the locker room, then returned to the sideline, where he appeared to have his injured finger wrapped. But he didn't re-enter the game and instead went back to the locker room. A committee of Packers backs handled carries in his absence.

The Packers listed him as questionable for the remainder of the game but he didn't return. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur said afterward that Jacobs had fractured his finger and the team hopes to find a way for him to play with the injury going forward.

Jacobs returned to the lineup in Week 7 in a loss to the Lions after sitting six games on the commissioner's exempt list due to an offseason arrest for an alleged domestic incident . He pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal damage to property in September.

In two games since his return prior to Sunday's game, Jacobs has tallied 75 rushing yards and one touchdown on 2.3 yards per carry and 11 catches for 68 yards and two more touchdowns.
