NFL pursues sealed home surveillance video in Josh Jacobs conduct review
Summary

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on paid leave as the NFL reviews his status under the league's Personal Conduct Policy. Jacobs entered a no-contest plea to misdemeanor charges, including battery, which triggered the ongoing disciplinary evaluation. The league is currently attempting to secure surveillance video of the incident, which was captured inside the player's home and placed under seal by a judge. League officials view the footage as critical to determining potential discipline, as the baseline suspension for domestic or family violence cases is six games. Jacobs will continue to receive credit for games missed while on leave, but he remains ineligible to play until the internal review concludes. The outcome of the investigation will depend on the findings of the review and the potential negotiation of a formal suspension between the league and the player.
