Josh Jacobs Poised for Training Camp Return, Reveals Shocking 2024 Injury and Stellar Performance

Green Bay, WI – June 7, 2025 – Green Bay Packers’ star running back Josh Jacobs sent shockwaves through the NFL on Thursday, revealing he played the entire 2024 season with a torn meniscus. Despite the debilitating injury, the 27-year-old amassed an astonishing 1,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, cementing his status as one of the league’s elite backs. Now, with surgery behind him and clearance expected for the Packers’ training camp starting July 22, Jacobs is ready to reclaim his spot as the heartbeat of Green Bay’s offense.

Jacobs dropped the bombshell during a press conference at Lambeau Field, detailing the physical toll of his 2024 campaign. “It was tough, but I wasn’t going to sit out,” he said. “The team needed me, and I pushed through. Surgery this offseason fixed the meniscus—I’m feeling stronger than ever.” His resilience stunned reporters and teammates alike, with quarterback Jordan Love calling him “a warrior” on X. “Nobody knew how bad it was,” Love posted. “Josh is built different.”

The revelation adds context to Jacobs’ remarkable 2024 season, where he appeared in all 17 games, carrying the ball 278 times for a league-leading 1,329 yards, per ESPN. His 15 touchdowns tied for third among running backs, and his 5.1 yards per carry ranked sixth, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). These numbers are even more impressive given that Jacobs played through pain, with a PFF run grade of 82.7 despite reduced mobility in his right knee.

At 5’10” and 223 pounds, Jacobs has long been known for his bruising, physical style. His 2024 performance, which earned him a second Pro Bowl nod and a second-team All-Pro selection, showcased his ability to power through defenders even while compromised. “He was dragging guys for extra yards, and we had no idea he was hurt,” said Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. “That’s the kind of leader Josh is.”

Jacobs’ injury went unnoticed by most outside the Packers’ locker room, a testament to his toughness and professionalism. His 1,153-yard career average over six NFL seasons

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
