The Green Bay Packers got positive news on running back Josh Jacobs, who suffered an injury Sunday on MetLife Stadium turf. But that didn’t stop Jacobs from slamming the stadium’s field all the same.
Jacobs hurt his knee early in the second quarter of the Packers’ Week 11 game against the New York Jets at the aforementioned venue in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He did not return to the contest, finishing with 40 yards on 7 carries in the 27-20 Green Bay win.
Despite Packers fans fearing the worst, Jacobs managed to avoid a serious injury. The All-Pro running back only needed to miss one day of practice and looks poised to take the field for his team’s Week 12 clash against the Minnesota Vikings.
Jacobs was seen on the field on Thursday running individual drills. After the session, one reporter asked him to talk about MetLife Stadium — and Jacobs did not mince words.

“Definitely the worst. Always been the worst,” Jacobs said, via The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman. “I know if I ever play there again, I would never talk about it, because I talked about it all week, how bad it was, and it bit me in the a–.”
