Green Bay Packers star running back Josh Jacobs seems confident that he will not miss any action the rest of the way despite new allegations of physical and verbal abuse from three women.
Jacobs expressed confidence in his lawyers and the evidence his side has as he navigates a tough season defined mostly by his legal troubles.
“No, not at all. Like I said, with all the evidence that we have and that they have, it’s like at this point, it’s not one of those things where I’m sitting back on my hands like, ‘Okay, am I gonna play this week?'” the former Alabama Crimson Tide star running back said, via Kelly Hallinan of NBC 26 News.

As far as Jacobs is concerned, he believes the six games he missed to start the 2026 NFL season were enough, and that he’s confident he’ll be on the field each game going forward as long as he’s healthy.
“It’s like, I kind of already know what it is. So it’s really just up to them to make their final decision, Jacobs added. “But I’m not worried about feeling like I’m [going to miss] any more time than I already have.”
Jacobs was put on the NFL commissioner-exempt list during the first six weeks of the season after he was arrested in May following an incident involving his then-girlfriend, forcing him to miss all of Green Bay’s games during that stretch.

The league took him off the list before Week 7, paving the way for his season debut against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. The NFL’s investigation into Jacobs is still ongoing, but any suspension that the league would impose on Jacobs would count toward the games he had already missed during his time on the exempt list.
