Josh Jacobs cleared to return to Packers after suspension, expresses remorse
Green Bay, Wisconsin — Packers running back Josh Jacobs said he was remorseful for the May incident and ready to return to the Green Bay Packers after his suspension. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said Jacobs looked healthy and could provide a spark for the offense. The team announced that Jacobs would practice for a full week, though his participation in the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions remained undecided. He was slated to rejoin the lineup in Week 7, bolstering a rushing attack that had been ranked last in the league.
Earlier, the NFL removed Jacobs from the commissioner’s exempt list, allowing him to practice and be eligible to play while a personal-conduct investigation continued. The Packers cleared him to use the team facility for Week 7 despite the ongoing probe. Wisconsin police have delayed releasing video evidence of the May domestic incident that led to Jacobs’ guilty plea to battery.
