Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs fractured a finger and left early during Sunday’s 45–27 win over the New England Patriots, Sportsnet Staff reported.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team would assess whether Jacobs could play through the injury. Jacobs was unable to grip the ball on Sunday, according to the report.

The injury adds uncertainty to Green Bay’s running game ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. The Packers entered Week 9 last in the NFL with 485 rushing yards.

Jacobs had already missed six games this season while on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, Sportsnet reported.
