Attorneys for Josh Jacobs’ ex-girlfriend filed a motion to seal discovery materials in the criminal case, per @​JFowlerESPN “The motion is consistent with our client’s desire to protect her privacy, particularly in light of Mr. Jacobs taking responsibility for his actions.”

The Vikings (apparently) blitzed nearly 80% of the time on early downs in Week 1. Explains why Chris Brooks, elite pass pro back, out-snapped MarShawn Lloyd despite Lloyd running clearly ahead in the preseason. Lloyd out-carried Brooks 13-7. Still reasons for concern on Lloyd: * 2.8 yards per carry * 1 missed tackle forced on 13 carries (via PFF) * -11 Rush Yards Over Expectation (via NGS) Josh Jacobs back at some point. GB added Kaleb Johnson. Unclear what the workload ceiling is for Lloyd g...

As expected, MarShawn Lloyd ain’t it - Packers needs to trade for an RB with no timetable for Josh Jacobs return A player that makes the most sense to me is Tony Pollard - This Titans team is nowhere near competing on a high level They’d be fine running with Tyjae Spears and Nicholas Singleton If they don’t do anything at this position, Josh Jacobs is one of the best buy lows in fantasy football right now

Packers RBs at halftime: Chris Brooks started. Even in snaps with MarShawn Lloyd. Brooks is playing most late down snaps. Carries split at 4 each. Green Bay OL isn't exactly lighting it up. With Jacobs headed towards return, Lloyd might be a full rug pull.

Jacobs is expected to miss at least the opening game and possibly several games to start the 2026 season. The source predicts: "They open on the road at U.S. Bank without Parsons and without Jacobs. That's a 0-1 start if we do our job." Jacobs' absence, combined with Parsons' ACL injury, creates a difficult early schedule (Jets on the road, short week at home vs. Atlanta) that could result in a 1-3 or 2-3 start. Even if Jacobs returns, coming back rusty does not help the Packers' early-season outlook.

Packers running back Josh Jacobs opened the regular season on paid leave following a no-contest plea to multiple misdemeanor charges, including battery. The NFL is conducting a Personal Conduct Policy review and will meet with Jacobs; the league is 'trying all sorts of legal maneuvers' to obtain a sealed surveillance video of the altercation from Jacobs's home. Six games is the baseline suspension for domestic violence and related family violence offenses, with aggravating factors potentially increasing the punishment. Jacobs will receive credit for games missed on paid leave but cannot play until the internal review and any appeal are completed, creating pressure on him to cooperate with the NFL's investigation. A negotiated suspension is expected once an agreement is reached.

Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers running back, has been charged with battery and criminal damage to property following an incident at his residence. The NFL is attempting to obtain surveillance video of the incident for its investigation and will interview Jacobs before determining suspension eligibility. Jacobs pled no contest to both charges; the criminal damage charge is deferred for 12 months contingent on counseling, restitution, and avoiding further legal issues, while the battery charge remains on his record. The judge warned that any material breach of the deferred agreement could result in up to nine months in jail.

While Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the Commissioner Exempt list, the NFL could count time spent there as time served for any potential suspension. Some league sources expect this to be the case in the end. In the Collective Bargaining Agreement, there is a six-game minimum for any type of domestic violence. It could be more or less, depending on mitigating factors. [Retweeted](

Packers RB pleaded no contest to multiple misdemeanor charges; judge sealed video evidence at his request citing victim/defendant privacy and safety. Felony charges were dropped to misdemeanors. Reportedly video shows him throwing victim's phone; some comments suggest it may show victim on ground without context. Sealing is temporary and pending further motion. Fantasy community split: bullish on late-round value (8th–12th round ADP noted) with potential return by week 4–6 or October; bearish on moral grounds and preferential treatment concerns. Comments debate whether sealing protects victim or enables accountability; Ray Rice video precedent cited. No consensus on leak risk given video...
