No Packers green at season opener in Brazil?

GREEN BAY, Wis. —

Social media rumors are swirling after the Green Bay Packers' new running back, Josh Jacobs, appeared on the "Green Light by Chris Long" podcast Thursday.

Jacobs, talking with Long about the Sept. 6 season opener in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles, said, "You know, they said that the part of Brazil we going to you can't even wear green at."

When asked why, Jacobs said, "They said, like, I guess something to do with the gangs and stuff."

The comments have caught the attention of many Packers fans, including ESPN Milwaukee host Alex Strouf.
