The rehabilitation period is approximately five to six weeks, leading to Jacobson’s unavailability for the remainder of 2020.
The 23-year-old made two test appearances for the All Blacks in 2019 and was selected in the Rugby World Cup squad but did not play a game after suffering a head knock.
Jacobson started both Super Rugby Aotearoa matches on the Chiefs' blindside flank, but had to leave the field against the Blues with his hand problem.
