Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs fractured a finger during Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots, head coach Matt LaFleur said, according to ESPN.
LaFleur said Jacobs struggled to grip the ball after suffering the injury. The coach added that he hopes to figure out a way for Jacobs to play with the ailment.
"Hopefully, we can do something to allow him to go out there," LaFleur said.
Jacobs left Sunday's game in the first quarter after his finger got caught in a defender's facemask. He finished the day with four carries for five yards.
The three-time Pro Bowler missed six games this season after being placed on the commissioner's exempt list.
MarShawn Lloyd, who leads the Packers with 57 rushing attempts in 2026, didn't face the Patriots due to a knee injury. Kaleb Johnson carried the load at running back for Green Bay, recording 68 yards and one touchdown on 14 attempts on the ground.
The Packers play the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10 before going on a bye.
