What happened: Josh Jacobs was reinstated from the Commissioner's Exempt List after missing the Green Bay Packers' first six games of the season. The NFL's review of allegations involving Jacobs remains open. Additional league discipline remains a possibility despite his return to the active roster.

Why it matters: A suspension would impact Green Bay's backfield rotation as the team navigates the NFC playoff race. The league previously evaluated whether time served on the exempt list could offset potential game penalties, leaving Jacobs' long-term availability unresolved.

By the numbers: Green Bay holds a 5-3 record and the No. 7 seed in the NFC following a 27-19 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

What to watch: The NFL will determine whether formal disciplinary measures or game suspensions follow the conclusion of its review.
