Josh Jacobs Injury Update After Surgery, Latest Rumors on Return Timeline for Packers RB

Adam WellsNov 14, 2026

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is going to miss time after undergoing surgery this week to repair his fractured right ring finger.

Per The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, Jacobs is expected to miss "no more" than three weeks after having surgery on Friday in Los Angeles.

The full three-week timeline would have Jacobs back for the Packers' Week 13 game against the New Orleans Saints, but Pelissero noted there is "perhaps" a chance he could return for the Thanksgiving Eve matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
