NFL to remove Packers running back Josh Jacobs from commissioner's list
The NFL will remove Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs from the commissioner exempt list on Monday, the league announced Friday.
The NFL announced on Friday that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will be removed from the commissioner's exempt list, effective Monday. Jacobs had been placed on the list following his arrest in May on multiple charges, which ultimately led to the dismissal of criminal charges against him. He will now be eligible to play in the Packers' Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions.
Jacobs, who was the 2022 NFL rushing champion, had played in 15 games last season, accumulating 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns. He had a strong start to the 2024 season, amassing 1,671 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in 17 appearances. Despite an underwhelming rushing attack for the Packers so far this season, averaging just 60.4 rushing yards per game, Jacobs is expected to return to action in the upcoming match against the Dallas Cowboys.
