Return to the team

Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs will be removed from the commissioner exempt list on Monday, according to the league. This means he is eligible to practice and play next week. The league investigation into Jacobs under the personal conduct policy is still ongoing, so a suspension remains possible.

Legal background

When he comes off the list next week, Jacobs will have missed the first six games of the season, and those games count toward any suspension. Jacobs was placed on the list on August 30 due to a May 23 incident at his home. He pleaded no contest on September 10 to battery and criminal destruction of property. He was convicted of battery, fined 1,000 dollars, and agreed to a deferred judgment on the property damage charge.

What the lawyers said

Attorneys Clarence F. Duchac III, David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld released a statement about the player. Josh has dedicated the last several months to bettering himself, and he accepts responsibility for his actions, his attorneys said. He is excited to get back to work and on the field with his teammates. Josh is grateful for the support he is receiving from his teammates, coaches, the Packers organization, and the greatest fans in the world.
