Quick Summary

NFL running back Josh Jacobs was removed from the commissioner’s exempt list on Monday after being placed there in August following an arrest related to an altercation at his home in May. He pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal destruction of property but has avoided a suspension so far, though he could still face discipline if the NFL’s investigation under its personal conduct policy concludes with further findings. Jacobs missed six games while on the exempt list and is expected to play in the Packers’ Week 7 game against the Lions on October 25. The league continues to investigate based on surveillance footage from his home that Jacobs has sought to block from release, and any potential suspension could be retroactively applied to these missed games.

Story summary

As of October 16, 2026, the NFL lifted suspensions on Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper, who were placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List due to domestic abuse allegations. Cooper will immediately return for Denver’s Week 7 game against the Arizona Cardinals after missing six games. Jacobs, meanwhile, will come off suspension Monday following Green Bay’s Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys and is expected to play in their Week 7 matchup with Detroit on October 25. Both players remain under investigation by the NFL's personal conduct policy, meaning further disciplinary action could still occur based on new evidence emerging from ongoing investigations. Jacobs was arrested earlier this year in Wisconsin for an altercation involving a woman at his home and has already pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal destruction of property.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
