Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs put up 91 yards and scored a touchdown in his season debut. It was his first time on the field since he pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges related to an altercation with his then-girlfriend. Jacobs didn’t make a big impact in the running game, carrying 11 times for 36 yards, but he had five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions.

The three-time Pro Bowler was recently removed from the commissioner’s exempt list, which had prevented him from playing in Packers' first six games.
