The Green Bay Packers have a situation on their hands as it pertains to running back Josh Jacobs. Charges that were brought against the star complicate the team\u2019s preseason preparations, and the team could be on the lookout for additional help to stabilize the backfield.<\/p>\n
Alvin Kamara<\/a> Will Be the Ideal Replacement for Josh Jacobs<\/p>\n The Packers ran into a roadblock after Jacobs was arrested last week<\/a> on five different charges, namely strangulation and suffocation (a felony), along with misdemeanor charges of battery, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, and intimidation of a victim.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n While the running back vehemently denied all charges, his bond was set at $1,350, and he is back at the OTAs.<\/p>\n Jacobs is not only the leading back on the Packers, but he is also one of the best running backs in the NFL, with Green Bay<\/a> relying heavily on his production on offense. As such, the front office finds itself in a tight situation to fill the massive void he\u2019d leave behind if he were to miss time.<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Dan Graziano acknowledged the situation when he discussed landing spots for New Orleans Saints<\/a> running back Alvin Kamara.<\/p>\n Take a Quick Break.

The running back will be 31 when the new season kicks off, and he\u2019d like to finish his career on a high note with a strong team.<\/p>\n Enter \u2014 the Packers.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to see a team offering too much for Kamara at this point in his career,\u201d Graziano added. \u201cBut if he lands in the right kind of backfield and the right kind of role, he could have a chance to go out with a bang. Maybe a place such as Cincinnati<\/a> or Green Bay has a way to use him to help the offense.\u201d<\/p>\n BE AN NFL GM: PFSN\u2019s Ultimate GM Simulator<\/a><\/p>\n
