NFL Stars Benched: Jacobs & Cooper on Exempt List
31 Aug
Summary
- Josh Jacobs and Jonathan Cooper placed on commissioner's exempt list.
- Both players face legal charges, impacting their NFL participation.
- Exempt list allows workouts but bars game and practice participation.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathan Cooper were both placed on the NFL's commissioner's exempt list on Sunday. This measure comes as both players are involved in ongoing legal proceedings.
Jacobs was charged with two misdemeanors in May stemming from an alleged incident with a woman. The NFL is currently reviewing his case.
Cooper faces domestic violence charges and is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on Monday. The commissioner's exempt list is a protocol used by the NFL to temporarily remove players from team activities while potential violations of the league's personal conduct policy are investigated.
Players on this list are not counted toward the 53-man active roster but are allowed to participate in individual workouts, attend meetings, and receive medical treatment.
