Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs on paid leave due to misdemeanor charges; court date moved to September 10.

Packers running back Josh Jacobs is on paid leave due to multiple misdemeanor charges including battery; his initial court appearance has been moved from November 17 to September 10. Typically, a player remains on paid leave until the criminal case ends and the NFL imposes discipline. It's possible Jacobs could be sidelined for the anticipated duration of his eventual suspension, with credit given for games missed and salary forfeited. The source notes the safest approach for Jacobs is to resolve the situation quickly, and a prompt plea deal may be reached.
