RapSheet: Jacobs could miss 2-3 weeks

Key Points:

• Josh Jacobs is expected to miss 2-3 weeks due to a surgically-repaired broken finger, potentially avoiding injured reserve; during his absence, the Packers will rely on Pierre Strong, Kaleb Johnson, Chris Brooks, and MarShawn Lloyd for backfield duties.
• Kaleb Johnson led the Packers in carries and rushing yards in Week 9 and could see increased usage, especially if Jacobs and Lloyd remain sidelined, but Packers running backs remain risky fantasy options against the Vikings' strong defense.
• Jacobs faces ongoing legal issues with multiple allegations of domestic violence, and while he has missed six games on the NFL Commissioner's Exempt List, the league's investigation continues and a suspension for the remainder of the season is possible.
• Patriots designated Reggie Gilliam to return from injured reserve, potentially boosting their run game, while David Montgomery's groin injury continues to sideline him, leaving Woody Marks as the primary back despite limited fantasy production.
• Other notable updates include Vikings GM suggesting Kirk Cousins' future in Minnesota is uncertain beyond 2026, Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes practicing fully despite an elbow injury, and the Ravens working out kickers Harrison Mevis and Riley Patterson due to roster issues.
