Packers running back Josh Jacobs left last Sunday’s game vs. the Giants early with what was later determined to be a bone bruise and a thigh contusion. He’s been dealing with these injuries all week, but there was hope he would be ready to compete on Sunday in an NFC North showdown against the Vikings.
However, Green Bay ultimately decided to rule Jacobs out to give him more time to recover, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Sunday. The decision came from a conversation the Packers had with Jacobs hours before kickoff.
