Packers’ Josh Jacobs Avoids Structural Knee Damage, Considered Day-to-Day

The team will keep him off injured reserve with his bruised knee’s swelling set to determine his availability for the Vikings.

Overview

  • Additional testing Monday showed no structural damage to Jacobs’ knee and no surgery is required, per multiple reports.
  • Coach Matt LaFleur said the injury is not expected to be season-ending and confirmed the Packers do not plan to place Jacobs on IR.
  • LaFleur described the issue as a knee contusion linked to the hard MetLife surface, with recovery focused on reducing swelling.
  • Jacobs left Sunday’s game after seven carries for 40 yards; Emanuel Wilson took over, scored, and would be in line to start if needed in Week 12.
  • Green Bay is evaluating running back depth moves, including potentially opening MarShawn Lloyd’s 21-day practice window this week.
