Packers Put Josh Jacobs on Exempt List After 2 Misdemeanor Charges
3 articles · Updated · ESPN · Aug 30
Summary
Josh Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list Sunday, taking him off Green Bay's 53-man roster and barring him from practices and games while the NFL reviews his case.
Two misdemeanor charges—battery and criminal damage to property—were filed three days earlier over an alleged incident with a woman in May; Jacobs' first court appearance is set for Nov. 17.
The list still allows Jacobs to be paid and, with team permission, attend meetings, individual workouts and medical treatment; any time on it can count toward a later suspension.
Green Bay had already moved to shore up its backfield, trading for former Steelers No. 83 pick Kaleb Johnson as MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks sit behind Jacobs.
