Josh Jacobs remains on NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List following battery charges

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is currently on the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List following his May 26 arrest. Authorities charged the former Alabama player with battery and criminal damage to property after an alleged altercation involving his girlfriend resulted in a reported head injury. Jacobs is prohibited from practicing or playing while on the list but continues to receive compensation. A court hearing is scheduled for Thursday, which may influence the league’s timeline for a potential suspension decision. In his absence, MarShawn Lloyd is expected to handle a larger share of the carries for the Green Bay offense. The team recently acquired Kaleb Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers to provide additional depth at the position.
