Josh Jacobs Reflects on Six-Game Absence, Apologizes to Packers Teammates as Return Remains Uncertain
Jacobs apologized to teammates after returning from a six-game absence, while the NFL’s investigation remains open and could bring more discipline.
- Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs returned to practice Wednesday after the NFL removed him from the Commissioner Exempt List on Monday, making him eligible to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
- Jacobs missed the season's first six weeks following a May 23 domestic abuse arrest in Wisconsin, then pleaded no contest last month to misdemeanor battery and criminal destruction of property charges.
- The Packers currently rank last in the NFL with just 59.8 rushing yards per game, relying on depth options MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr., and Kaleb Johnson while quarterback Jordan Love leads the passing attack.
- Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Jacobs expressed remorse, saying he is "just trying to be better," while Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur said the team has a plan to integrate him if cleared.
- The NFL's personal conduct investigation remains open, leaving the possibility of further discipline, while Jacobs filed a civil suit last week seeking to permanently seal surveillance footage of the incident.
