Wausau Rhinelander, WI, October 16, 2026 —
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is set to be removed from the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt List on October 19, a change that would make him eligible to play in the team’s Week 7 game on October 25, according to the information provided.
The roster-status change does not conclude the NFL’s investigation. The league’s inquiry into Jacobs’ arrest and subsequent misdemeanor charges remains active, leaving the investigation ongoing as he is expected to return to eligibility.
The available information does not specify when or where Jacobs was arrested, what the misdemeanor charges involve, or whether any court proceedings have taken place. It also does not give details about the league’s investigative process or indicate when that review might be completed.
The dates provided identify October 19 as the planned removal date and October 25 as the date of Green Bay’s Week 7 game. The year, the opponent and other game details were not provided. The information says the change will allow Jacobs to play; it does not provide further details about his status with the team beyond the scheduled roster-list removal.
For now, the two developments are distinct: Jacobs is set to leave the exempt list ahead of the game, while the league’s investigation into the arrest and charges continues. No additional findings or outcome from that investigation were provided.
