Overview
- On Sept. 10 Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage and the court ordered $1,000 fine, restitution, counseling and a no-contact condition.
- Brown County Judge Marc Hammer declined a proposed permanent sealing order for discovery on a procedural filing ground and allowed the victim’s lawyers to refile with a Sept. 24 status hearing.
- The league has requested access to alleged home surveillance footage that prosecutors say corroborates parts of the victim’s account and that evidence is central to the NFL’s independent review.
- Jacobs remains on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, which bars him from games and team activities while he is paid, and some league sources say a four-to-six-game suspension is possible with time on the Exempt List potentially credited.
- Green Bay has redistributed carries to MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and recent addition Kaleb Johnson, a change that affects game plans and fantasy value and that would extend if the league imposes a multi-week ban or if the Sept. 24 hearing keeps the video sealed.
