The Packers took two injury hits during Sunday's Week 9 game against the Patriots. Running back Josh Jacobs picked up a hand injury in the first half and was ruled questionable to return, and NBC Sports reported he may be done for the day in New England.
Linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper followed him to the sideline with a chest injury of his own, also carrying a questionable designation. The timing stings on defense: Green Bay came into the week already thin at linebacker, and Hopper's exit left the unit stretched even further.
Jacobs is the bigger name on the report, and his status will shape how the Packers manage the rest of the afternoon on offense. Official updates on both players figure to come quickly, but for now Green Bay is trying to close out a road game without two contributors it expected to lean on.
