NFL reportedly requested video of Josh Jacobs incident with running back still on commissioner's exempt list

The National Football League has formally requested access to surveillance footage regarding an ongoing legal matter involving Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs. The player has remained on the commissioner exempt list while continuing to receive his salary, causing him to sit out the first two contests of the regular season following a court resolution earlier in the month where he entered a no contest plea for battery and property damage.

League officials are seeking the video evidence prior to determining any potential disciplinary action to avoid repeating past controversies regarding domestic violence investigations. Although Jacobs has not formally received a suspension, every week spent on the exempt list counts toward time served under league protocol, mirroring past policy shifts implemented following historical incidents involving players like Ray Rice.
