Packers’ Josh Jacobs placed on commissioner exempt list while he faces misdemeanor charges
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the NFL's commissioner exempt list while facing two misdemeanor charges. The charges, including battery and criminal damage to property, stem from a physical altercation with his girlfriend. Jacobs was arrested on May 26, after police were called to his home due to a disturbance.
Despite the charges, Jacobs was permitted to return to the team for organized team activities. The NFL's decision allows Jacobs to practice or attend games, but not participate in team activities. Jacobs, a seven-year veteran with the Packers, has rushed for 7,803 yards and 74 touchdowns in his career. He is set to open his season against Minnesota on September 13.
