Packers RB Josh Jacobs eligible to return despite NFL investigation
- The NFL announced Friday that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will be removed from the Commissioner Exempt List on Monday, October 19, making him eligible to play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions.
- Jacobs has remained on the exempt list since August 30 following his May arrest on misdemeanor battery and criminal damage charges; he pleaded no contest in September, receiving a $1,000 fine and a deferred judgment agreement.
- The NFL's personal conduct investigation remains active, while Jacobs and his ex-girlfriend filed injunctions Wednesday against the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department to block the public release of video evidence from his residence.
- Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the locker room supports Jacobs, who has been working out at team facilities during his absence; while missing five games, he is expected to be in shape for the Detroit Lions matchup.
- Although Jacobs is eligible to play, the league's review is ongoing and not affected by his roster change; any future suspension would be unpaid per the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFLPA.
