Josh Jacobs to undergo surgery, expected to miss three weeks

Josh Jacobs is set for surgery on an injured finger and likely faces a three-week recovery period. The injury occurred during the Packers' Week 9 victory over the New England Patriots when he attempted to stiff-arm a defender. Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Jacobs fractured his finger and initially hoped he could play through the injury. The Packers' running back situation is further complicated, as MarShawn Lloyd is sidelined with a knee injury, and Chris Brooks is on injured reserve with an ankle injury but has been designated to return. Currently, only Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson are fully healthy among the running backs on the roster.
