Jacobs (personal) appeared in court in Green Bay on Thursday and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Brown County District Attorney David Lasee said Thursday that he won't seek jail time for Jacobs, who was arrested in May in a domestic incident. However, Lasee is pursuing a conviction on the battery count and will accept the deferred agreement on the criminal damage of property if Jacobs meets five conditions related to his no contest plea. Jacobs is ineligible to play or practice for the Packers after being placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List on Aug. 30, but as a result of his plea, the NFL could remove him from the list and instead issue a suspension.

Washington could still play a sizable role Week 1 against the Dolphins, even with Ashton Jeanty (ankle) expected to suit up, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Washington impressed the Raiders' coaching staff in the preseason, during which the rookie fourth-round pick rushed for 168 yards on 23 carries across three games, averaging a robust 7.3 YPC. Jeanty has returned to full practice participation in the week leading up to Sunday's regular-season opener against the Dolphins, but the 2025 first-round pick missed a chunk of practice time due to the ankle injury he suffered Aug. 23. With Jeanty still shaking off the cobwebs, Washington is primed for some added opportunities in his regular-season debut as the Raiders face the Dolphins in a battle between two teams expected to finish near the bottom of the standings this season.

Holani rushed eight times for 29 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 13-10 win over the Patriots on Wednesday.

The change-of-pace back ironically logged just two fewer carries than lead runner Jadarian Price while also being a complete non-factor as a pass catcher. Holani ran reasonably well against a tough Patriots front, and his carry total served as the second-highest tally of his career. Holani should continue to see 8-to-10 touches per game as a complementary option while Zach Charbonnet (knee) remains on the PUP list.

Stevenson rushed 18 times for 51 yards and brought in five of six targets for 44 yards in the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

As expected with TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) unavailable, Stevenson shouldered a heavy workload and found running room at a premium save for his game-long 12-yard rush late in the fourth quarter. However, the versatile veteran made an impact as a receiver, finishing with a co-team-high reception total while checking in as the runner-up in both receiving yards and targets for the Patriots on the night. Stevenson's involvement as a pass catcher unsurprisingly picked up after A.J. Brown went down with an ankle injury on the first possession of the second half, and the veteran running back could remain in an elevated all-around role during the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Price rushed 10 times for 52 yards and brought in both targets for six yards in the Seahawks' 13-10 win over the Patriots on Wednesday.

The rookie running back touched the ball on Seattle's first play from scrimmage and immediately made an impact, ripping off a decisive 13-yard run. While that would serve as Price's longest gain of the night, the first-round pick continued to run hard throughout the night while flashing a hard-charging style. Price's rushing opportunities were somewhat capped as George Holani also logged eight carries, but the former could be trusted with a bigger role in a Week 2 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 20.

The Packers signed Bankston to the practice squad Wednesday.

Bankston was waived by the Giants on Aug. 29 but will now get another opportunity with the Packers, albeit as a member of the practice squad. The 23-year-old capped off his final collegiate season by amassing 635 yards and five touchdowns off 114 carries, adding 31 catches for 397 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games at New Mexico in 2025.

Gordon (ribs) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Gordon recently returned to practice without a non-contact jersey. With his full participation in Wednesday's practice, all signs are pointing toward his availability for Week 1 versus the Raiders. The 22-year-old finished the 2025 campaign by rushing for 199 yards and three touchdowns off 70 carries, adding seven grabs for 32 yards and a touchdown in 17 regular-season appearances. Gordon currently occupies the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright.

Love (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Love's status for Week 1 has been murky since he emerged from the Cardinals' preseason opener with a high-ankle sprain, which coach Mike LaFleur downplayed for most of the past month. When LaFleur discussed Love ahead of Wednesday's session, he told PHNX Sports "don't look too far into that" when discussing the rookie's listing as the No. 2 RB on the team's unofficial depth chart, while at the same time telling Brack that "there's no limit on our end" to Love's activity level. Considering Love's listing of "limited" Wednesday, he still has some work to do to be available for Sunday's game at the Chargers. Tyler Allgeier would serve as Arizona's lead back Week 1 if Love is operating with a cap on his reps or doesn't suit up, while Bam Knight would be in line for some work as well.

Brooks (hand) was not listed on Houston's official injury report Wednesday.

Brooks broke his hand during a practice back in early August, but it doesn't look like it's holding him back anymore. He's not likely to see many snaps on offense in Week 1, barring an injury to David Montgomery or Woody Marks.

Estime (thigh) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Estime is dealing with a thigh issue that kept him out of the first official practice of Week 1. The running back will need to upgrade his participation to at least limited by Friday's session to have a shot at playing in Sunday's contest against the Lions.
