Packers' Don Jackson: Early exit Thursday

Jackson did not return to Thursday's game after injuring his left hand during the first half, the Wisconsin State Journal reports.

Analysis:

The extent of Jackson's setback is not certain, but he was spotted with ice on his hand during the second half, and his injury was serious enough to prevent him from returning to action. Reports leading up to Thursday's contest tabbed Jackson as the Packers' primary running back in the absence of Eddie Lacy (ankle), but he tallied just two carries before his night was cut short, as the Packers instead turned to receiver Ty Montgomery to handle the bulk of the running back duties. Jackson's status moving forward is uncertain, but with the Packers playing early in Week 7, he will have a few extra days to rest and recover before the next game in Week 8 against the Falcons.
