Overview
- The NFL announced on Sunday that Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, which bars him from practicing or playing, keeps him on paid leave, and removes him from the Packers' 53-man roster.
- Brown County prosecutors filed two misdemeanor charges—battery and criminal damage to property—after reviewing evidence that they say includes garage surveillance footage, with the formal charges filed Thursday.
- Green Bay has said it expects Jacobs to remain with the team, but general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters the club is preparing for a possible suspension and added running back depth by trading for Kaleb Johnson.
- Jacobs was originally arrested on May 26 on five counts, including an alleged strangulation charge that prosecutors declined to file as a felony, and his initial criminal court appearance is set for Nov. 17.
- The exempt-list designation is an administrative step that does not determine guilt and allows the NFL to complete its review; time on the list can count toward any future league suspension, which could change how many regular-season games he ultimately misses.
