Describe the bug

Two Josh Jacobs runs missing from Packers/Eagles game (2024_01_GB_PHI), in second half. Both have similar characteristics.

Reprex

library(nflreadr)
nflreadr::clear_cache()
stats <- load_pbp(2024)
sheet_id <- "11Al6Z123vfW7o_7fTVC_sKvEqjXpDICxpHjSiVhN3xc"
range_write(stats, ss = sheet_id, sheet = "Stats", range = "A1")

Expected Behavior

Josh Jacobs totaling 16 carries for 84 yards

Instead, missing plays have him at 14 carries for 52 yards. I am guessing this is due to the text in the missing plays (they both show an injury update and have two double asterisks)

Gotta be more explicit to remove injury updates only if the description starts with the injury pattern
