The Packers are severely lacking running back depth
The Green Bay Packers are facing a significant challenge with their running back depth following Josh Jacobs' recent arrest on domestic abuse charges. With Jacobs potentially facing suspension, the team's backup options are limited and lack experience. Chris Brooks is currently the most reliable backup, but the overall situation raises concerns for the Packers' running game in the upcoming season.
- ▪Josh Jacobs has turned himself in to authorities with five charges related to domestic abuse.
- ▪The Packers have limited options at running back if Jacobs is suspended.
- ▪Chris Brooks is seen as the most reliable backup but is primarily a third-down back.
