Josh Jacobs News
Sunday, November 8, 3:39 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (finger) suffered a fractured finger in a 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 9, head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs exited the game in the first quarter after it appeared that his finger got caught in the facemask of a defender. He played just 10 offensive snaps and rushed four times for five yards (1.3 yards per carry). Jacobs did not return to the game. Additionally, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports that Jacobs injured his ring finger and that Jacobs said he popped his finger back in right after it got caught on the facemask of a Patriot defender, but he ultimately wasn't able to play. Jacobs, who is dealing with legal issues after pleading no contest to two misdemeanors of battery and criminal damage to property in September, has played in just three games in 2026. With Jacobs out, the Packers relied on Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong Jr. at running back.

Jaylen Warren News
Sunday, November 1, 9:03 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in his team's 27-6 rout of the Cleveland Browns. He failed to gain a yard on his lone catch (two targets). Warren was electric again on Sunday, carving up a porous Browns defense to tie a career-high in rushing yards. It was the fourth time this season that he surpassed 100 yards on the ground, while the rushing score was his second. In an encouraging turn of events, the Oklahoma State product was still uber-effective despite teammate Rico Dowdle's increased involvement. The latter was clearly out-touched through his first two games back from a toe injury, but brought the backfield carry split considerably closer. Either way, Warren was more efficient with his work and wasn't hampered in terms of fantasy. The 28-year-old continues to rip off long, chunk gains and is an enticing weekly play. He and the Steelers will get some time off before returning for a road matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10.
