Key Points:
- The NFL has placed Packers running back Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner Exempt List following misdemeanor charges related to an alleged incident involving brutality towards a female.
- Jacobs will continue to be paid but is barred from practicing with the team, though he may attend team meetings; the duration of his exemption depends solely on the Commissioner’s decision.
- Jacobs’ initial court appearance is scheduled for November, creating uncertainty around his availability for the start of the 2026 NFL season and impacting fantasy football considerations.
- The Packers recently acquired running back Kaleb Johnson, and MarShawn Lloyd has emerged as the lead back, becoming a key waiver target and a mid-round draft option in fantasy leagues.
