Acme Packing Company on Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs eligible to return Week 7 after six-game suspension; likely needs ramp-up time.

Josh Jacobs will be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt list on Monday, making him eligible to play in the Packers' Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions. He has effectively served a six-game suspension while his legal case worked through the court system after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor charges (battery and criminal damage to property). The NFL's decision to reinstate him follows a recent filing by Jacobs and the victim to permanently seal surveillance video evidence. However, players on the Exempt list are barred from practicing with the team, so Jacobs would likely need at least another week of ramping up before being ready for game action, potentially delaying his season debut until Week 8 (Thursday Night Football vs. Carolina) or Week 9 (Sunday at New England).
