Packers RB Josh Jacobs placed on commissioner exempt list amid charges

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the NFL's commissioner exempt list, a move that prevents him from practicing or attending games while two misdemeanor charges against him are pending. The league confirmed the administrative action on Sunday, August 30, 2026, just days after the charges were filed. The placement stems from a domestic incident earlier this year. Brown County, Wisconsin, District Attorney David Lasee announced on Thursday, August 27, that Jacobs had been charged with battery and criminal damage to property. The charges are connected to an arrest on May 26, following a disturbance call at his home.
