NFL removes Josh Jacobs and Jonathon Cooper from exempt list

NFL Commissioner Exempt List Josh Jacobs Jonathon Cooper domestic violence investigation

The NFL has removed Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper from the Commissioner’s Exempt List, making both players eligible to return to action in Week 7.

Josh Jacobs, who has missed the first six games of the season, is expected to be eligible for the Packers’ matchup against the Detroit Lions on October 25. Jacobs previously pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property following an incident in May. He and the victim have also filed legal actions to prevent the release of certain evidence, including surveillance footage.

Jonathon Cooper is cleared to play for the Broncos in their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooper faces unresolved legal issues, including a felony strangulation charge stemming from arrests in June. His trial is scheduled for March 2026.

The NFL stated that while both players are being reinstated to active status, investigations into potential violations of the league’s personal conduct policy remain ongoing. The league reserves the right to impose further discipline based on the findings of these reviews.
