“Business as usual,” is how coach Matt LaFleur described OTA day for Josh Jacobs, who was arrested last week for domesti

What happened: Coach Matt LaFleur described Josh Jacobs' participation in OTAs as "business as usual" after the running back was arrested last week on domestic abuse charges. Jacobs remains under investigation and has denied the allegations. He was on the practice field, working a handoff drill with quarterback Jordan Love.

Why it matters: The matter places the team in a difficult position, balancing due process against a serious off-field allegation that could carry discipline under the league's personal conduct policy. As a featured back, Jacobs is central to the offense, making his availability for the upcoming 2026 season a significant question. The investigation's outcome — and any league review — will shape both his standing and the team's plans.

What to watch: Watch for developments in the investigation and any statement or review under the NFL's personal conduct policy. His continued OTA participation signals no immediate roster action while the case proceeds.
