Overview
- The Packers officially moved Josh Jacobs to the 53-man roster on Saturday, Oct. 24, and he is expected to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
- Jacobs spent the first six games of the season on the Commissioner's Exempt List, a paid administrative leave that bars practice and play but typically counts as time served if the league later issues a suspension.
- Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage in September and has publicly expressed remorse for the incident.
- Green Bay made three concurrent roster moves by activating defensive tackle Jordon Riley, signing returner Coleman Owen from the practice squad, and elevating edge rusher Arron Mosby to manage depth for Week 7.
- The immediate on-field effect is expected to be a boost to a rushing attack that ranked last through six games, but the NFL's investigation and ongoing court disputes over evidence could still lead to additional discipline later in the season.
