Packers' Josh Jacobs Placed on Commissioner's Exempt List
Jacobs is on paid administrative leave and cannot practice or attend games while the NFL reviews the domestic-violence case, attorneys said.
- On Sunday, August 30, 2026, the NFL placed Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list, barring him from practice and games while the league reviews his case.
- Brown County prosecutors charged Jacobs with two misdemeanors—battery and criminal damage to property—on Thursday, August 27, 2026, stemming from an alleged May domestic incident.
- To address the backfield vacancy, the Packers acquired running back Kaleb Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, joining MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks in the roster rotation.
- Johnson's arrival forced the Packers to cut running back Pierre Strong Jr. on Sunday, preventing him from making the team's initial 53-man roster despite a strong preseason.
- Jacobs remains on paid administrative leave indefinitely, with his next court appearance scheduled for November 17, though the NFL is under no obligation to wait for legal proceedings before imposing final discipline.
