Green Bay Packers Running Back Josh Jacobs Releases Statement After Missing Practice.

The Green Bay Packers had several players not participate in practice on Thursday. For most of these players, it was a well-earned veteran rest day. For running back Josh Jacobs, though, it was due to concern over an injured groin.

Jacobs, of course, was signed by the Packers this offseason. The former Las Vegas Raiders running back got a four-year $48 million contract from Green Bay, though only the 2024 season is guaranteed. He is coming off of a down season in 2023 during which he rushed for a career-low 805 yards while averaging a career-worst 3.5 yards per carry.

The 2022 NFL rushing leader missed the final four games of the season due to a quad injury.

After practice on Thursday, Jacobs was asked if his injury is going to cause him to miss time. He assured reporters that, had it been the regular season, he would have been on the field without a second thought.

Green Bay has been in training camp for a little of a week, so there is no need to risk serious injury, especially for one of their best players and premier running back.

Indeed, there is no question that it will be Jacobs who will be Green Bay’s starter in the offensive backfield. The battle for who will behind him, though, is a very interesting one to watch.
