Comes off exempt list Jacobs (personal) has officially been removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Impact Jacobs will practice with the Packers for the first time this season Wednesday, after he was recently removed from the commissioner's exempt list. Because of Jacobs' lack of on-field reps with the team over the last few months, he could need some time to regain conditioning before the Packers are comfortable clearing him to play.

Impact 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.
