NFL could suspend Jacobs if video is released - NBC Sports

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the NFL “could step back in and create a longer suspension” for Josh Jacobs if the video showing his altercation with a woman is released.
Fowler is surprisingly saying the quiet part out loud here, though this has been the general consensus for fans and analysts for a while. Jacobs is scheduled to come off the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt list on Monday. The NFL is reportedly trying to get hold of the video, and Jacobs has sued to block its release. Fowler adds that the woman’s attorney said her client has not participated in the league’s investigation due to privacy concerns. If the video stays under wraps, Jacobs could be allowed to continue playing in the NFL.

‘Business as usual’: Jacobs keeps emotions in check in grudge match win over Eriksson - The Grand Slam of Curling
By Jonathan Brazeau VICTORIA — It was the most anticipated game of the Co-op Invitational since the draw schedule was set: Canada’s Team Brad Jacobs versus Sweden’s Team Oskar Eriksson. A sizeable crowd was on hand Friday night at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre regardless, cheering on hometown heroes Team Taylor Reese-Hansen, but they were just as engaged and enthralled by the grudge match of Olympic proportions happening on the adjacent sheet. Here we are now. Entertain us. It was the first game between the two sides since their fiery round-robin encounter during the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina. Eriksson, then throwing third stones for legendary skip Niklas Edin, accused Team Jacobs third Marc Kennedy of illegally double-touching a rock. Colourful words were exchanged in the viral moment that became one of the hottest talking points of the Games, lingering on even as Jacobs went on to capture Olympic gold. With Edin stepping back and Eriksson taking the reins, he just so happened to slot into the same pool as Jacobs for the Co-op Invitational, the season’s first Grand Slam of Curling tournament. What a coincidence?

Packers’ Jacobs eligible to return next week amid probe - TSN
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers running back Josh Jacobs will be removed from the commissioner exempt list Monday, the league announced, making him eligible to practice and play next week. The league's investigation into Jacobs under the personal conduct policy remains ongoing, however, leaving open the possibility that he could still be suspended. When he comes off the list next week, Jacobs will have missed the first six games of the season, and those games would count toward any suspension. However, if Jacobs ends up getting suspended for more than six games, he will have to miss additional games to make up the difference. After playing the Cowboys this Sunday at Lambeau Field, the Packers will visit the Lions on Oct. 25. "Josh has dedicated the last several months to bettering himself, and he accepts responsibility for his actions," Jacobs' attorneys, Clarence F. Duchac III, David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld, said in a statement. "He is excited to get back to work and on the field with his teammates. Josh is grateful for the support he is receiving from his teammates, coaches, the Packers organization, and the greatest fans in the world.

Islanders vs Maple Leafs Prediction, Picks, Prop Bets For October 17, 2026 - NHL - Covers.com
How can I not go with Auston Matthews after he's cashed this play for us in two straight games? He's clearly on another level now that he's healthy, and his shooting percentage (40%) is among the league's best on the man advantage. When Matthews is shooting, he's hitting twine - he has four goals across his last three games as a result. Let's pot one more against this stingy Islanders defense. I'm loving William Nylander's shot volume right now, as the Leafs winger has registered at least three shots on goal in four consecutive games. He's averaging 6.5 shot attempts per contest, the 23rd-highest mark in the NHL, giving us plenty of reason to believe his hot streak can continue. With the Islanders playing an undisciplined brand of hockey, watch for Willy on the power play to drive us over the line.
