Josh Jacobs facing charges…

[tynimiller]

Do not know if he is innocent or guilty, always innocent until proven guilty unless there is clear evidence (video,etc) . However saying all that the guy was arrested on very serious charges, having him at OTA's with the team should have been a "no go". How will it look if he is charged, the Packers and NFL will look bad in everyone's eyes. He should have been suspended pending outcome of the investigation by both the Pack and NFL. As for this team, the Parsons news is a severe hit, gone for at least 6 games likely and possibly 8. The Packers do not (on paper) have the D players to replace him (even 2 for his 1). They had holes after the draft, still have holes and now more than before, not looking good.

Only hopeful fools thought his time line would be less than 9 months....I mean seriously folks were grasping to an illogical outlier rate of recovery it boggled my mind. I personally planned on 12 months and hoped to be surpised. He tore one of the most crucial tendons in the body and damaged his miniscus.

This is no "severe hit" to anyone on the team or in the organization except those with their heads in the sand.

We all knew with the timing of the injury from 2025 that our first half of the season would not be pretty. And that includes Kraft and Wyatt. And we may never see Fitzpatrick in a Packer uniform again. That is why most of our optimism should be directed toward 2027. If the team can play elite football in the final 9 games of the season they could make the playoffs. That is a big if, but like Rodgers said, " We can run the table. " They did that year.

I've long said this team just needs to hold serve until Kraft / Wyatt / Tom all get into their grooves and when Parsons returns you hope all cylinders a go....but our schedule in truth could not have lined up better....

Our first four games which Parsons for sure won't play I see legit shot at worst case being 3-1 heading into match up with the Bears October 11. That's W's @Vikings, @Jets, vs Falcons and then for the exercise say we lose @Tampa Bay. Now we do face our first of many short weeks playing Jets on the 20th and the Falcons immediately on the 24th...but still I got confidence in legit could or should be 3-1 or 4-0

Bears game is the first game I could see Parsons MAYBE be back...but sitting at 3-1 we enter a small gauntlet:

vs Bears

From there Parsons becomes quite likely to be returning....I predict it is actually the Cowboys game where he gets his first few snaps...but first gaem back playing decent number of snaps will be @ Lions (Oct 25th) or vs Carolina (Oct 29th)

If they do not charge him he can only be held for so long.

He isn't being held. He was at practice.

Would be terrific if he can get some reps vs. Dallas of all teams. Maybe catch Dak trying to take off.
I am not so sure about getting by the Vikings in Week One at their place. Very loud. And they tend to play some of their best football early. They still have a lot of veterans on that team that know how to win. If their O line can get it done this year that offense could be scary. I think we could beat them in GB later on. This is a big test for MLF. Can he instill some of that Lombardi grit in his players so that they become determined to beat the opponent or will they continue to be sheep looking for the shepherd. This will especially be true in the first half of the season. But the Packers cannot take the Jets, Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans and Miami lightly. Just as we are capable of beating all of them we have shown that those teams are capable of knocking us off as well. All it takes is one bad week of practice or a misconstrued game plan, or looking ahead.

Wisconsin law requires an arrest in any domestic altercation. IIIRC, this was reported by the neighbors not either of the parties.

Thanks Poppa I didn't know any of this. I hope it can be sorted out.

Nothing shared has ever claimed charges filed. Arrested is not charged. As of right now nothing has been filed against him.

I was looking at the post you used to start this the read - from Adam Schetter saying Jacobs was jailed on five charges. I thought that was a more recent post, my mistake. It was dated May 26, 2026 and is still there, and is still apparently incorrect. NBD.

Anyway, it looks like as of this morning (June 4), Jacobs has not been arrested or charged.

An opening win would be a huge lift for the team, well for everyone. It has been very hard for the Packers to beat the Queens in Minnesota. As you note, they might have a v good offense this year (although I have my doubts with JJM behind the wheel).
