Despite picking up the win over the New York Giants, the Green Bay Packers lost starting running back Josh Jacobs to an injury, who was ruled out for the duration of the matchup. According to the breaking news<\/a>, as of this posting, it\u2019s nothing too serious for the Packers to worry about, as Jacobs should return at some point. However, the depth chart of the Packers\u2019 ground game is something Jordan Love can\u2019t lean on. Between Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks, Green Bay doesn\u2019t have the experience to keep this run game intact, which could force them to consider looking into a veteran free agent.<\/p>\n

Breaking: Josh Jacobs Injury News May Force Gus Edwards Signing<\/p>\n

The good news is that the Packers can make a quick signing to improve the ground game. It won\u2019t be pretty, but Gus Edwards<\/a> could be a temporary answer to the depth woes. While he isn\u2019t going to be a drastic change to this run game and might not eclipse at least 500 rushing yards this season, he\u2019s better than what the Packers have on their roster. Originally selected as an undrafted rookie, the former Rutgers product lost his footing since he dealt with multiple injuries during his first NFL stint with the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

Edwards joining the Packers could give him a solid opportunity if he stays healthy. The Packers are 6-3 and currently in a competitive NFC North division, so they must make some type of move to strengthen the run offense. However, here are three potential contenders that may dip their hand in the market for a quick move before January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite picking up the win over the New York Giants, the Green Bay Packers lost starting running back…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,15976,18811,46825,451,46816,31113,23433,3,85315,452,453,31131],"class_list":["post-297692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-dallas-cowboys-news","tag-green-bay-packers-news","tag-gus-edwards","tag-headlines","tag-javonte-williams","tag-josh-jacobs","tag-new-england-patriots-news","tag-news","tag-omarion-hampton","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-treveyon-henderson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
