Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs claimed that wearing green wouldn't be allowed at the Packers' season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil due to potential violence, but the NFL denied these claims. Jacobs cited concerns about gangs and safety, stating players might have to stay off the streets unless in armored vehicles. However, NFL spokesperson Michael Signora clarified that fans would be allowed to wear green at the game, and any discussion about the color green was related to soccer and wouldn't impact the NFL game. The misinformation likely originated from a joke made by a Corinthians representative, but Jacobs later apologized for the confusion and the game is set to proceed as scheduled on September 6 in São Paulo.
