The Green Bay Packers dropped to 2-1-1 with a tie against the Dallas Cowboys, which created some questions that certainly weren’t there when they were vocal about potentially going undefeated.
While special teams and injuries to the offensive line are the most concerning aspects, running back Josh Jacobs joined that list after leaving the game with a knee injury.
Jacobs recently cleared the air about what happened and revealed it wouldn’t be a major concern.
“The touchdown, I guess I got cleated. I don’t know. I went back to the sideline and I saw a big-a** hole in my knee. So I got stitches. Yeah, that was it,” Jacobs said.

Packers fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as it doesn’t sound like Jacobs has any structural damage, and after their bye, he should be good to go for Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
A hole in the knee is not a fun thing to deal with, but thankfully, Jacobs has plenty of time to heal.
Week 4 was Jacobs’ best showing of the young season with 86 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries, in addition to 71 receiving yards on four catches.
These past two weeks have served as a reality check for a team that looked like the best in the league through two weeks.
But with a bye week and a home game against the lowly Bengals, the Packers have an opportunity to get back on track.
