Packers news: NFL stiff-armed from viewing Josh Jacobs video

The NFL is in the process of determining the appropriate punishment for Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, following his plea of no contest to two misdemeanor charges. These charges stem from an incident involving his girlfriend in May. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the league is planning to interview Jacobs and attempt to obtain the video footage of the incident, despite it being barred by the court.

As of now, Jacobs remains on the Commissioner's Exempt list and there is no established timeline for any potential discipline. Jacobs was required to pay a $1,000 fine as part of the conditions of his plea.
