Around the same time, the league also removed another player from the CEL, restoring his availability for Week 7 as well. The timing of these developments comes as questions linger over a video tied to the May incident. Jacobs has spent the 2026 season on the CEL following charges related to battery in a domestic matter. The typical sanction for similar charges has previously hovered around six weeks, and Jacobs pleaded no contest to the charges last month, aligning with the six-week CEL duration.
The ongoing investigation could still influence disciplinary decisions, depending on whether the video is released publicly. If no new material surfaces, there is a reasonable expectation that Jacobs could suit up in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions.
