Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured finger and didn’t rule out a stint on injured reserve.

LaFleur confirmed previous reports that Jacobs will undergo surgery, but it sounds like he could be at risk of missing more than the three-week “maximum” that was reported. LaFleur not only said a stint on injured reserve was possible, but also noted that Jacobs playing through the injury was never an option, saying he “had no grip strength.” We don’t yet know when Jacobs will undergo his surgery, but LaFleur did confirm that it will be some time this week. With Jacobs now sidelined for the foreseeable future, Green Bay will look to MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong, and Kaleb Johnson to lead the backfield heading into Week 10 against the Vikings.
