Packers’ Running Back, Josh Jacobs, Suffers Hamstring Injury in OTA but Has High Expectations for Return

The Packers’ running back, Josh Jacobs, participated in Tuesday’s organized team activity but his participation was heavily restricted. According to Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com, Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Jacobs is working through a hamstring injury.

In the offseason, Josh Jacobs signed a lucrative four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers, securing his position as the team’s RB1. He will be replacing Aaron Jones who departed in free agency. During his time with the Raiders, he had an impressive career rushing for 5,545 yards and scoring 46 rushing touchdowns. In 2022, he led the league with 1,653 rushing yards. Despite his injury setback, the Packers have high hopes for him once he recovers and returns to action on the field.
