What happened: Adam Schefter reported that attorneys for Josh Jacobs' former girlfriend filed a motion to permanently seal evidence and discovery materials in the criminal case involving the Packers running back. The request adds a new court step in the case involving Jacobs, who was charged in late August.

Why it matters: The filing matters beyond court procedure because the NFL could still weigh discipline as the case proceeds, with Jacobs' exempt-list time already in focus. A sealing order would also shape how much of the case record becomes public while the matter moves forward.

What to watch: The next step is the court's decision on the sealing request and any follow-up filings. Green Bay's handling of Jacobs and any league action remain key watchpoints.
