Jacobs faces criminal charges; Week 1 status unclear despite team's stated support.

Josh Jacobs faces criminal charges for battery and criminal damage to property following an incident at his residence; head coach Matt LaFleur stated the Packers 'fully anticipate him being a member of our team,' but his Week 1 availability is uncertain. LaFleur said 'I can't really comment on that, because I don't know' when asked if Jacobs would play in Week 1. The NFL typically punishes domestic violence cases with a five- to six-game suspension, and the question remains whether any suspension would apply to the 2026 season or 2027 season if Jacobs is found guilty in-season.
