What happened: Brown County prosecutors charged Jacobs last week with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property stemming from a May incident. He remains under contract and is paid while on the list.

Why it matters: Green Bay must plan without its starting running back as the regular season approaches. The NFL controls when Jacobs may return while the legal case proceeds.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is Green Bay's Sept. 13 opener and any league update on Jacobs' status.
