Packers' Josh Jacobs: Practicing Thursday
Jacobs took part in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Jacobs was removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, and while the Packers held a walkthrough Wednesday, it wasn't open to the media, so his activity Thursday marks his first visible on-field work since training camp. It remains unclear if Green Bay will clear him to play Sunday at Detroit, but the team has a roster exemption at its disposal that lasts until Monday, Oct. 26, which allows it flexibility if Jacobs isn't deemed ready to make his season debut this weekend.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Status up in air for Week 7
Jacobs remains uncertain to play Sunday at Detroit, with head coach Matt LaFleur saying, "We'll see. We'll work through it," Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
Despite Jacobs being removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, the Packers have a one-game roster exemption for the running back that expires Monday, Oct. 26. As such, Jacobs currently doesn't count against Green Bay's active roster, and the team won't have to officially include him among its Week 7 inactives if the exemption still stands as of Sunday. In the event Jacobs doesn't play this weekend, MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson will be the options out of the Packers backfield.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Comes off exempt list
Jacobs (personal) has officially been removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
As expected, Jacobs is off the list and eligible to practice. Head coach Matt LaFleur told Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site Monday that Jacobs is expected to take on a full week of drills, but the team hasn't determined if the running back will make his season debut this coming Sunday at Detroit. It should be noted that Green Bay has been granted a one-game exemption for Jacobs that expires next Monday, Oct. 26, per the NFL's transaction log, meaning he currently doesn't count against the active roster. If Jacobs doesn't play in Week 7, MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson will continue to handle the Packers backfield.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Practicing, but Week 7 status TBD
Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (personal) will get in a full week of practice, but the practice, but the Packers have yet to determine whether he'll be able to make his season debut Sunday in Detroit, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports. "We feel he's in a pretty good spot," LaFleur said. "He's been training but he's missed the exposure to football."
Jacobs will practice with the Packers for the first time since the preseason Wednesday, after he was scheduled to be removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday. Though he was able to work out at the Packers' team facility over the past two months while his playing status was in limbo due to the ongoing legal saga related to his May arrest in a domestic incident, Jacobs may need more than a full week of practice for the team to feel comfortable having him play in games. Whenever Jacobs is deemed ready to suit up, his addition will provide a boost to a Green Bay running game that ranks last in the NFL by a wide margin with an average of 59.8 yards per contest through six weeks.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Will come off exempt list Monday
Jacobs (personal) will be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday and be eligible to play as soon as the Packers' Week 7 game at Detroit, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Jacobs' playing status has been in limbo since his May arrest following a domestic incident that led to the running back pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in early September. He since has missed the first five games of the season and will miss a sixth contest Sunday, and while he'll be able to practice next week and make his 2026 debut on Sunday, Oct. 25, the NFL will keep its investigation of Jacobs open, reserving the right to add further discipline if new information comes to light, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Packers' Josh Jacobs: Files civil suit Wednesday
Jacobs filed a civil suit Wednesday seeking a permanent injunction restricting access to records pertaining to his May 23 altercation with a woman at his home, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
After being arrested following the domestic incident, Jacobs appeared in court Sept. 10 and pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal destruction of property. He was ultimately convicted of battery and fined $1,000, while agreeing to a deferred judgment agreement on a charge of damage to property. Later that month, a judge lifted a temporary seal of the records pertaining to the case and turned the decision whether to release part or all of the records over to the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department. Jacobs has appealed the release of those records, which could further delay the NFL's efforts to wrap up its investigation into the running back and levy a potential suspension. So long as the NFL's investigation is ongoing, Jacobs will remain on the commissioner's exempt list.
