Green Bay Packers star running back Josh Jacobs left the Week 11 game against the New York Giants with a knee injury. He was seen walking to the locker room moments after quarterback Jordan Love had also gone to the locker room. While Love eventually returned to the field, Jacobs was not as fortunate.

Initially labeled questionable to return, Jacobs was ultimately ruled out of the game due to the knee injury. Although there were concerns regarding the severity of the injury, the star running back has since received a significant update.

Early reports suggested that Jacobs’ exit might not be serious, but further information revealed a different story. Following the conclusion of the game, it was disclosed that the Packers’ playmaker’s knee injury is not believed to be season-ending.

According to Adam Schefter, via Packers reporter Rob Demovsky:
“Josh Jacobs’ knee injury is not believed to be season-ending, but more tests will be done on Monday back in Green Bay.”

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur commented on the situation:
“I think anytime a player, especially of his magnitude, but anytime a player doesn’t finish a game, you’re always concerned about the welfare of them.”

There were initial concerns that Jacobs’ knee injury could involve an ACL, MCL, or another long-term problem that might have sidelined him for the rest of the season. While LaFleur acknowledged the worries around the injury, he also indicated that the news was more positive than feared.

Jacobs is scheduled to undergo further tests in Green Bay, with the hope that he will only miss a few practices rather than several weeks.

In the meantime, the Packers secured a crucial 27-20 victory over the Giants, snapping their two-game losing streak.
