Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Jacobs
From the article
The regular season opens with Packers running back Josh Jacobs on paid leave. He'll remain there while the NFL determines his punishment under the Personal Conduct Policy after a recent no-contest plea to multiple misdemeanor charges, including battery.
STACKED’s take
Josh Jacobs on paid leave pending NFL Personal Conduct Policy review; six-game baseline suspension likely.
Packers running back Josh Jacobs opened the regular season on paid leave following a no-contest plea to multiple misdemeanor charges, including battery. The NFL is conducting a Personal Conduct Policy review and will meet with Jacobs; the league is 'trying all sorts of legal maneuvers' to obtain a sealed surveillance video of the altercation from Jacobs's home. Six games is the baseline suspension for domestic violence and related family violence offenses, with aggravating factors potentially increasing the punishment. Jacobs will receive credit for games missed on paid leave but cannot play until the internal review and any appeal are completed, creating pressure on him to cooperate with the NFL's investigation. A negotiated suspension is expected once an agreement is reached.
