Josh Jacobs fractures finger in Week 9

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (finger) suffered a fractured finger in the first quarter of the Week 9 game against the New England Patriots, limiting him to four carries for just five yards.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game that the team is hopeful of finding a way for Jacobs to play through the injury in the future.

Why it Matters: Kaleb Johnson had a big performance with 14 carries, 68 yards and a touchdown with Jacobs departing, and he could be the back to target for fantasy purposes, should Jacobs need to miss time. Pierre Strong also saw eight carries in a complementary role to Johnson.
