Core Event: Groin Injury Sidelines Jacobs on August 6
On August 6, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was observed without pads and was listed as a Did-Not-Practice (Did Not Practice (DNP)) for that day’s training-camp session. Reporters on the scene confirmed the absence was due to a groin injury.
Background & Context: Recent Health History
Jacobs entered Green Bay in 2024 after a Pro Bowl season with the Las Vegas Raiders. Over the past two seasons he has missed only one game—a knee contusion in Week 12—that lingered and contributed to a decline in production. Prior to the current groin issue, he entered the offseason with essentially a clean bill of health.
Data & Statistics: Performance and Career Totals
In the 2025 season Jacobs logged 929 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, adding 36 receptions for 282 yards and one receiving touchdown. Since being drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, he has accumulated 1,840 carries, 2,109 total touches, and 76 total touchdowns.
Official Statements & Responses: Assessment of Injury Severity
Aaron Nagler of Cheesehead TV reported that Jacobs was working with a rehab trainer during the absence. Both sources indicated the injury is not expected to be long-term and should not affect the remainder of training camp.
Outlook: Expected Return and Impact on Training Camp
Given the assessment that the groin issue is minor, Jacobs is projected to resume full participation in upcoming practices. His quick return would preserve the Packers’ offensive stability, as he remains one of the team’s top rushers heading into the mid-portion of camp.
