The Green Bay Packers ruled out running back Josh Jacobs on Friday for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs missed all three practices after fracturing a finger in last week’s game at New England.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Jacobs needed surgery and that the team had yet to determine how long he would be out. Jacobs carried four times against the Patriots before leaving. Kaleb Johnson picked up 68 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries.

The Packers listed running back Chris Brooks as questionable with an ankle injury. Brooks was designated to return from injured reserve and would have to be added to the 53-man roster to play Sunday.
