‘It’s In Some Ways Unfair to Ask Matt LaFleur’ — Analyst Calls on GM Brian Gutekunst to ‘Explain Why the Packers Are Sticking With’ Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that he expects Josh Jacobs to stay with the team despite past allegations from three more women being made public, and Packers analyst Peter Bukowski is demanding to hear from general manager Brian Gutekunst. Jacobs returned from the commissioner’s exempt list in Week 7 and has played in two games since.

‘It’s In Some Ways Unfair to Ask Matt LaFleur’ — Analyst Calls on GM Brian Gutekunst to ‘Explain Why the Packers Are Sticking With’ Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur stated he expects running back Josh Jacobs to remain with the team despite recent allegations of abuse from multiple women. Analyst Peter Bukowski has called upon general manager Brian Gutekunst to provide an explanation for the team's decision to keep Jacobs. LaFleur did not delve into the reasoning behind the team's stance on Jacobs, instead stating they will let the NFL's investigation play out.

Bukowski criticized LaFleur's response, arguing that a decision like this should be backed up with a clear explanation. Gutekunst has previously stated the team will let the process play out, but Bukowski believes it's unfair to leave all the questions to LaFleur, as he is more closely involved with Jacobs.
