The Green Bay Packers could miss Josh Jacobs for several games in the 2026 NFL season. The Hobart-Lawrence (Wisconsin) Police arrested the star running back on Tuesday and booked him on several domestic violence charges.

Jacobs, 28, was booked on charges of battery (domestic abuse, criminal damage to property), domestic abuse, disorderly conduct (domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation) and intimidation of a victim.

This situation screams trouble for the Packers. They could lose Jacobs for multiple weeks, which could open the door for a potential trade with the Philadelphia Eagles.

NFL Fans Disagree With Projected Josh Jacobs Trade

“SleeperEagles” on X floated a trade idea, projecting a trade that would send Will Shipley and a seventh-round pick in 2027 to Green Bay in exchange for a Packers’ fifth-round pick next year.

Many fans reacted to the idea, with the vast majority criticizing Shipley’s level.

“Why the hell would the packers think Shipley would be the answer for Jacob’s? Shipley is a–,” one fan said.

“Are you joking?” another fan questioned.

“So we just making s–t up now,” a third fan added.

“Should they?” a fourth fan wrote.

Shipley, 23, has played two seasons in the NFL. He has carried the ball 44 times for 131 yards. While not precisely a superstar, perhaps a chance of scenery could give him the tools to shine.
