Jacobs pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges in September and spent six weeks on the commissioner’s exempt list.

The NFL has added the new allegations to its ongoing probe, while the Packers weigh their next steps.
Milwaukee Brewers: 1 World Series pitcher has already decided not to return next season
The Milwaukee Brewers capture their first franchise World Series title, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1, but starting pitcher Dustin May (21) opts out of his $20 million 2027 mutual option, becoming a free agent after a $500,000 buyout.

Green Bay Packers: NFL releases statement after 3 more Josh Jacobs accusations surface
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has defended Pro Bowl RB Josh Jacobs despite his May domestic‑violence arrest and a September no‑contest plea. New case files now allege violence by three additional women, prompting the NFL to extend its investigation. Jacobs spent the first six weeks of the 2026 season on the commissioner’s exempt list; any eventual suspension will count those games against the penalty, though he must repay his exempt‑list pay. Since returning, he averages just 2.3 yards per carry and the Packers sit last in the league at 60.6 rushing yards per game.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love is having an MVP-caliber season despite horrid offensive deficiencies
The Green Bay Packers sit 5-3 after a 27-19 win over the Carolina Panthers, and quarterback Jordan Love is emerging as a surprise MVP candidate. Love already leads the NFL in passing yards (2,246), touchdowns (16), attempts (312) and completions (196) despite a league‑worst offensive line that gives him just 2.48 seconds to throw and a run game that ranks dead last. His 61.5% completion rate is hampered by 18 drops by his receivers; with fewer drops, his accuracy would jump into the top ten. Accounting for 82% of the Packers’ offensive yards, Love’s performance is keeping the team in the NFC North playoff mix, even as the defense tops the league in sacks and takeaways.
Green Bay Packers reveal target date for Micah Parsons return from ACL injury
The Packers sit 5-3 after a 27-19 win over the Panthers, with Jordan Love playing MVP‑caliber despite drops and line issues. Their defense, ranked ninth overall, leads the league in sacks (22) and takeaways (15) even without star pass rusher Micah Parsons. ESPN reports the team is targeting the Thanksgiving Eve matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 25 (Week 12) for Parsons' return, after he cleared his latest rehab markers. Parsons posted 12.5 sacks in 2025, and his comeback could boost an already dominant unit for the final stretch of the season.
Green Bay Packers show interest in Jonathan Taylor amid 3 more Josh Jacobs allegations

New documents allege three additional women have accused Jacobs of abuse, prompting Green Bay to explore a trade for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor, a three‑time Pro Bowler, leads the league with eight rushing touchdowns and sits fifth in yards (587). While adding Taylor could boost the Packers’ image and give them a stronger backfield, analysts warn it won’t solve the team’s underlying offensive‑line problems.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who returned from the commissioner’s exempt list after a domestic‑violence plea, is now linked to three additional abuse allegations dating back to 2022.

Green Bay Packers’ Jonathan Gannon receives his much-deserved flowers after Week 8 win vs. Carolina Panthers

The defense capped its fifth straight game holding an opponent under 20 points, recording six sacks—including a crucial sack on Bryce Young in the final 20 seconds—to become the first team this season with that many primetime sacks. Jordan Love, Christian Watson and Josh Jacobs (two TDs) fueled the offense, while safety Evan Williams praised Gannon’s confidence‑building approach. Green Bay improves to 5‑3, keeping playoff hopes alive.
Nate Ament thinks his defense will increase his minutes with the Milwaukee Bucks this season
Rookie forward Nate Ament, the No. 13 pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, is turning his defensive hustle into more minutes for the Milwaukee Bucks after missing the first two games with a sprained ankle. In 14.7 minutes per game he averages 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 29.4% shooting, but his biggest impact comes guarding stars like Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam and Kevin Durant in his first three outings. Ament says his "three‑and‑D" skill set and willingness to match up with elite players will earn him a regular rotation role, and he’s confident his offense will improve as he adapts to playing off the ball.
