  "summary": "The NFL has placed two prominent players, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathan Cooper, on the commissioner's exempt list due to legal issues. Jacobs, who was charged with two misdemeanors in May, will be barred from the team's 53-man active roster and will not be able to practice or attend games. However, he can still work out, attend meetings, and receive medical treatment at the facility. Meanwhile, Cooper, who faces domestic violence charges, will also not count toward the roster limit but can participate in individual workouts, meetings, and seek medical treatment. The commissioner's exempt list is implemented to review potential violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy without affecting the player's ability to work out and receive medical care.",
