Pro Bowler Issues Bleak Warning: Packers RB Josh Jacobs Could Miss Entire 2026 Season Amid Legal Battle
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is facing a potentially season-long absence in 2026 due to his placement on the Commissioner’s Exempt List following legal troubles. Former Pro Bowler T.J. Houshmandzadeh believes Jacobs’ current situation, including a lawsuit to block the release of surveillance video, could lead to a ‘silent suspension’ for the entire year.
The Packers’ ground game has struggled without Jacobs, forcing the team to rely heavily on quarterback Jordan Love and their passing attack featuring Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.
