The Green Bay Packers fell to 2-2 on the season after a heartbreaking 31-29 loss on Sunday. Green Bay climbed out of a 28-0 hole in the second quarter to make it interesting at the end. Sunday was also Jordan Love’s return to the field after injuring his MCL in week one.
To add insult to injury, Green Bay could be looking at at suspension.
Packers: Suspension Likely Following Brual Loss To Vikings
There is controversy swirling around former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs now playing for the Green Bay Packers.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith, the NFL fined Jacobs $45,020 for lowering his helmet during a tackle against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A suspension could be imposed on him if he is disciplined again:
Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jacobs was talked to before the season about future violations leading to suspension.
“Although it’s true that Jacobs often lowers his shoulder as he’s bracing for impact with a defender, and that sometimes leads to contact with the top of his helmet, the hit that led to the $45,020 fine didn’t look particularly egregious and wasn’t flagged on the field,” Smith wrote.
“Jacobs plans to appeal his fine, according to the report. He was also fined twice for use of his helmet in 2023, and one of those fines was reduced on appeal and the other was rescinded entirely.”
So far in Green Bay, Jacobs has had a solid season. He is seventh in the league in rushing yards (329) as well as seventh in the league in carries (71). The Raiders and Jacobs separated in the offseason when Jacobs left in free agency.
