Jacobs pleads no contest to battery charges; remains on commissioner's exempt list with six-game suspension likely.

Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal damage to property on Thursday; he was arrested in May and originally booked on five charges. The Brown County Court accepted his plea on conditions including no future criminal acts, victim contact avoidance, counseling, supervision, and restitution. Jacobs was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine on the misdemeanor battery charge. The alleged incident occurred on May 23 at his home, involving a woman who was allegedly grabbed, thrown to the ground, and struck her head. Jacobs was placed on the NFL's commissioner's exempt list on Aug. 30, barring him from practicing or playing for the Packers. The NFL stated there is 'no timetable' for punishment, though the standard suspension for domestic violence under the CBA is six games.
