Josh Jacobs Suspended as Packers Prepare | NFL News

Josh Jacobs starts the 2026 NFL season on the commissioner’s exempt list after being arrested for battery and property damage, forcing Green Bay to pivot without their star running back for their opener against the Vikings. Though he’ll still get paid, Jacobs can’t practice or play while under investigation — leaving Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd to shoulder the load, with Kaleb Johnson added via trade to help fill the void. The Packers are preparing for the game as Jacobs awaits the league’s next move, unsure how long his suspension will last.
