What happened: The Green Bay Packers plan to keep running back Josh Jacobs on the roster despite additional allegations of physical and verbal abuse involving multiple women. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the organization intends to let the league review play out before altering his status.

Why it matters: Jacobs was previously placed on the commissioner exempt list in late August following earlier misdemeanor charges. At 5-3, Green Bay holds the seventh seed in the NFC while navigating ongoing backfield uncertainty ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

By the numbers: Jacobs has run 32 times for 75 yards and 1 touchdown in 2026 through 2 games. Green Bay is 5-3 in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: The NFL continues to review the matter under its personal conduct policy, which will dictate Jacobs' playing status moving forward.
