As we await word on whether the NFL will suspend Josh Jacobs after he was arrested in May and booked on five charges over an alleged domestic violence incident, the possibility was addressed by Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst.
"We've obviously been preparing for that in case that happens," he told reporters on Wednesday. "But at the same time, I feel really good about the guys we have in that room."
He's referring to a running back room that includes fantasy football sleeper MarShawn Lloyd, who has looked good in the preseason. So that might suggest that the Packers wouldn't go looking for extra RB help if Jacobs is handed a suspension.

That's what we know right now.
Is there a Josh Jacobs suspension update?
Not as of yet. We're still waiting to see if that will be handed down by the NFL.
