Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List as a new legal development delays the potential release of evidence connected to his misdemeanour battery case.
The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department has temporarily withheld records from the investigation after attorneys representing individuals involved indicated they intend to seek court orders preventing disclosure.
The development adds another layer of uncertainty to Jacobs’ NFL return, with the league continuing its review under its personal conduct policy.

Why Was The Josh Jacobs Video Release Delayed?
According to an October 14 report from WTMJ, police initially determined that certain investigative records could be released with appropriate redactions following a court-directed review.
The department notified the individuals involved on October 5. Their attorneys subsequently raised objections and indicated plans to pursue judicial intervention.
Police have therefore placed the responsive records on temporary hold while the statutory waiting period and any applicable court proceedings play out.
Importantly, the department clarified that the delay does not amount to a permanent denial of the public records requests.
Other materials, including police reports, body-worn camera footage and squad camera recordings, also remain under review.
