Packers RB depth chart: Green Bay trades for Kaleb Johnson as Josh Jacobs goes on Commissioner's Exempt List
Here's the latest on Jacobs' status and what his future may hold.
The Green Bay Packers are set to bolster their running back depth chart after acquiring Kaleb Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, star running back Josh Jacobs will miss the entire 2026 season due to a domestic abuse incident. The NFL has placed Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List, barring him from participating in games until his case is resolved.
Despite this setback, the Packers have Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks as their backup running backs, though Lloyd has faced significant injuries in the past. Johnson's addition to the roster should provide the Packers with more reliable depth should Jacobs miss additional time due to legal proceedings.
