Packers running back Josh Jacobs has apologized for spreading misinformation regarding the NFL's guidelines on wearing green in Brazil, claiming it was a safety precaution due to gang associations. The NFL clarified that this was inaccurate, and Jacobs has apologized for the mistake, acknowledging his misinformed statement. The confusion was likely due to the Arena Corinthians venue in São Paulo, where the home soccer team avoids green due to a rivalry with Palmeiras. However, this does not apply to American football teams, and green will be seen on the field and in the stands for the Packers-Eagles game in Brazil.
