What happened: The Green Bay Packers have decided against issuing internal discipline to running back Josh Jacobs, deferring all disciplinary decisions to the NFL. Team leadership confirmed Jacobs will remain on the active roster while the league evaluates the matter.

Why it matters: Jacobs was previously charged with battery and property damage, leaving any disciplinary action or potential suspension to the commissioner's office. Deferring the decision avoids immediate roster disruption for Green Bay during the 2026 regular season. The Packers currently hold a 5-3 record and the No. 7 playoff seed.

By the numbers: Jacobs has run 32 times for 75 yards and one touchdown in 2026 through two games. The Packers stand at 5-3 through eight games following a 27-19 victory over Carolina.

What to watch: The NFL will review the situation to determine whether Jacobs faces league discipline or placement on the commissioner's exempt list. Green Bay moves forward with Jacobs on the roster as regular-season play continues.
