The Green Bay Packers are facing a few critical injuries
According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, offensive lineman Zach Tom and tight end Tucker Kraft are dealing with pectoral injuries. While the Packers believe these injuries won’t impact the season, Tom isn’t expected to practice until training camp.
The biggest injury news for the Packers concerns running back Josh Jacobs. The team made a notable free agency signing by adding the 2022 NFL rushing yards leader. They released Aaron Jones after a 2023 season marred by hamstring injuries.

According to Ryan Wood of USA Today, LaFleur mentioned that Jacobs had sustained a hamstring injury.
“I know everybody is going to freak out, but he’s on the mend. We expect him back pretty shortly,” LaFleur said.
Recently, the Packers have had numerous talented players struggle with hamstring problems, including wide receiver Christian Watson since he joined the team in 2022. This offseason, the Packers are making efforts to tackle their hamstring injury issues.
The $48 million asset of the Packers is currently managing the situation.
