Packers express hope Josh Jacobs, who faces legal issues, can play sometime this season
- Green Bay Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday he is hopeful running back Josh Jacobs will play this season, though the timeline remains uncertain due to ongoing legal developments.
- Jacobs was officially charged last week with misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property, stemming from an alleged May 23 domestic violence incident at his Wisconsin home.
- Placed on the Commissioner Exempt list Sunday, Jacobs cannot participate in team activities, leaving MarShawn Lloyd to handle the workload alongside Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson.
- Gutekunst confirmed the team has not seen the police video of the incident, stating "Those are legal things going on right now, so we'll let those play out."
- With one year remaining on his contract through 2027, the Packers could save $13.5M by releasing Jacobs after this season, prompting contingency planning.
