Packers running back Josh Jacobs finally hit the practice field Wednesday, marking his first appearance since missing the team’s first six games. After being on the Commissioner’s Exempt List for a big chunk of the season, it looks like he has a chance to play this Sunday.
Back on the Field, Under a Cloud
Jacobs opened his first media session since May with a statement, sounding genuinely excited to be back with his teammates. He made sure to thank the organization for their support through what has clearly been a tough process. While he couldn’t get into the specifics of things, he didn’t shy away from expressing his remorse. Jacobs said he was “sorry for putting this team in this situation.” He went deep on the idea that “four-second, three-second decisions can alter your life honestly,” acknowledging he’s still a human being trying to learn and grow from the whole experience. He also mentioned learning a lot, both legally and personally, and is focused on trying to get better going forward.
The NFL Isn’t Done Yet
Here’s the kicker: even with Jacobs back practicing, the NFL’s investigation is still very much active. He remains under investigation by the league for Personal Conduct Policy violations. This all stems from a misdemeanor battery charge back on May 26. So while we might see him on the field this Sunday, the shadow of that ongoing investigation definitely isn’t gone.
It’s a huge moment for Jacobs, potentially stepping back into competitive play this Sunday. But with the NFL still digging into his situation, this story is far from over.
