Finger surgery on tap, IR possible
When asked if IR is a possibility for Jacobs (finger), coach Matt LaFleur said Monday, "I think everything is a possibility," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Per Tom Pelissero of Netflix, LaFleur confirmed Monday that Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured ring finger. As a result of the looming procedure, Pelissero adds that that the running back is out indefinitely, which supports the notion that an IR stint for Jacobs could be on the table. Given that MarShawn Lloyd is dealing with a knee injury that sidelined him Sunday, Kaleb Johnson is Green Bay's top healthy back at the moment, with Pierre Strong also on hand. However, it's possible help is on the way, and outside reinforcements may not be needed, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, as Chris Brooks (ankle) could be nearing a return from IR.
