Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been assigned to the Commissioner’s Exempt List following his arrest on domestic violence charges, multiple news outlets reported Sunday. The placement comes after authorities charged Jacobs with battery and criminal damage to property stemming from an incident near his Green Bay residence earlier this year.
Jacobs faces two misdemeanor counts that carry potential penalties of up to $20,000 in fines and as much as 18 months in prison if he is convicted. The charges relate to a strangulation incident that prompted the law enforcement response to his home.
Under NFL rules, the Commissioner’s Exempt List serves as a temporary status designed for exceptional situations where players are removed from roster limitations at the league’s discretion. The Commissioner retains sole authority to designate players for this list and to determine whether their exemption will be permanent or lifted once the league concludes its review process.
The case remains active, and further developments are expected as the legal proceedings advance and the NFL completes its investigation into the matter.
