Josh Jacobs, running back for the Green Bay Packers, left the game against the New England Patriots in the first quarter due to a hand injury. The injury occurred when Jacobs’ right hand got caught in an opponent's face mask during a stiff arm attempt in the red zone. Although he returned to the sideline after evaluation, he did not re-enter the game and is listed as questionable to return. Jacobs has rushed four times for five yards prior to his departure. With Jacobs sidelined, Pierre Strong Jr. and Kaleb Johnson remain as the available running backs.
