The Packers are signing free agent quarterback Cam Miller to the practice squad, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
The Dolphins waived him Aug. 30, and he remained a free agent until Monday.
The Packers have Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor on the active roster. They still list Kedon Slovis on the practice squad.
The Raiders made Miller a sixth-round pick in 2025, and the Dolphins signed him off of Las Vegas’ practice squad late last season.
Miller, 25, has never appeared in a regular-season game.

It looks like this week will, in fact, be the week for Micah Parsons to return to practice.
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters in his Monday press conference that it’s the team’s “intention” to have Parsons return to practice.
“Again, it’s going to be a process trying to get him back,” LaFleur said. “But we’re hopeful that — it’s going to be dependent upon the next couple of days. But, we’re hopeful that he’ll be able to get out there sometime this week.”
The Packers had meetings and a walk-through on Monday after defeating the Panthers last Thursday night. LaFleur noted Parsons was with trainers during that session, explaining why Parsons has not yet been designated to return.
But even once Parsons returns to the field, Green Bay isn’t expecting him to play right away. The club plans to use a good portion of the 21-day window to activate him off of the physically unable to perform list.
“I would just say, like everything around here, it’s pretty fluid in terms of how he responds and just the progress he’s going to, hopefully, continue to make leading up to when he’s available,” LaFleur said. “If I had a bet on it, it’s going to be more toward the longer end than the shorter end.”
Parsons suffered a torn ACL late last season.
Multiple reports over the weekend indicated the Packers are targeting Week 12 for his return, which would be the “Thanksgiving Eve” game against the Rams in Los Angeles.
More allegations of domestic violence against Packers running back Josh Jacobs surfaced late last week and head coach Matt LaFleur addressed them at the start of his press conference on Monday.
Jacobs missed the first six games of the season while on the Commissioner Exempt list after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage related to a May arrest and the other allegations were made to police in the wake of that arrest. The NFL said in a statement on Saturday that those allegations will be reviewed as part of its ongoing investigation into Jacobs’s conduct and LaFleur said that the team will “just let the process play out” without any change to Jacobs’s current status.
“Obviously we’re aware of the prior allegations on Josh,” LaFleur said. “We’re going to allow the NFL to do its process, but I would anticipate him being a member of us moving forward. That’s really all I have to speak on.”
Jacobs drew attention last Thursday with a touchdown celebration that appeared to mimic being placed in handcuffs. Jacobs offered an alternate explanation and LaFleur said that he had a conversation with the back about being more aware of the optics surrounding such choices, but declined to offer any other details of their discussion.
Thursday Night Football continues to draw larger audiences, generally. Specifically, there will be some peaks and valleys.
In Week 7, Patriots-Bears racked up 19.86 million for Prime Video. In Week 8, the number for Panthers-Packers fell to 16.56 million.
While it was a 26-percent bump over the Chargers’ 37-10 blowout of the Vikings in Week 8 of the 2025 season (13.13 million), it also landed a full one million below the season-to-date average of 17.56 million for TNF.
This week, a Jaguars-Ravens game that looked very good on paper as of Sunday morning has become a much more questionable endeavor, given the injuries to Baltimore quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. It could be undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano under center for the Ravens.
Which won’t be good for business. But will be good for the Jaguars.
Patriots receiver A.J. Brown was not able to play in the Week 8 win over the Dolphins due to a knee injury.
At this point, it’s unclear if Brown will be on the field for Week 9.
“We’ll see how he progresses during the week. He’s getting treatment here,” Vrabel said Monday, via Karen Guregian of MassLive.com. “We’ll see Wednesday what those guys that were unavailable for the game, and what they look like and whatever came up during the game.”
Brown, in his first season with the Patriots, has played just three games so far this year. He’s caught just nine passes for 101 yards in those contests.
The wideout previously missed time with a high-ankle sprain.
Vrabel was similarly mum about the status of tight end Hunter Henry, who is dealing with a foot injury.
But Vrabel said Mack Hollins and Reggie Gilliam could “potentially” get back on the practice field, with both players currently on injured reserve.
The Patriots will host the Packers on Sunday afternoon in Week 9.
On Sunday afternoon, Josh Jacobs’s lawyers issued a lengthy and detailed statement responding to the additional allegations of violence contained in documents released by local police on Friday, in connection with the battery charge to which Jacobs previously pleaded no contest.
In the statement, Jacobs’s lawyers claim that one of the three new allegations was previously communicated to, and investigated by, the NFL.
Both the NFL and the Packers declined comment regarding the new statement, in response to inquiries from PFT.
Regardless of the comments from the people who are representing Jacobs, the league will do its due diligence. The Packers surely will, too. And they could, potentially, decide to move on from Jacobs — especially if any of the new information is inconsistent with anything he has previously told the team.
Here’s the best evidence that the three allegations against Packers running back Josh Jacobs have raised serious concerns about Jacobs’s future in Green Bay specifically, and in the NFL generally.
Jacobs’s lawyers have issued a lengthy statement addressing the allegations that were not previously known, until the authorities released the information to the media on Friday.
Here’s the full text of the statement:
“Last week the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department released its case file to media. The file includes summaries of three telephone interviews describing events in 2021 and 2022. Josh Jacobs denies all three accounts and has a substantial body of tangible evidence to back up his assertions.
“The police department’s released file contains only phone interviews, taken years after the fact, with no additional investigation, save for an acknowledgement that Josh did nothing wrong. Josh was not given an opportunity to present evidence to Hobart-Lawrence in response to the uncorroborated report, primarily because Hobart-Lawrence took no action related to the unsupported and stale allegations.
“One of these three women made a claim to the NFL, which reviewed it and decided no action was warranted. Josh has kept evidence that supports his accounts and the NFL’s decision. Nothing in the released file indicates that any such evidence was used or even sought. Indeed, the police report did not even present any of this information.
“Another woman made a claim in 2021, but only after Josh called the Las Vegas police to his home to report the woman for misconduct. A police report was written that day, which effectively undermined her claims. No further action was taken by any authority after she was removed from Josh’s home.
“Josh denies any physical altercation with the third woman. She first contacted Josh and asked to visit. She came to Las Vegas and stayed at his home. Another person was present in the house during part of her stay. She stayed there overnight and left the following evening — on her own, in a car she ordered herself. The receipt for that ride is in the police file the department released, and it is consistent with Josh’s account of how the visit ended, not hers.
“Josh took responsibility for what happened in May. He entered into an agreement with prosecutors for two misdemeanors, and he is meeting the court’s requirements.
“The three accounts are old, are hearsay, and easily disproven, yet released to the media by police without any investigation to determine whether they were accurate or contradicted by evidence. Josh is answering them in detail because of the character assassination that is occurring, unfairly threatening his career.”
Based on the statement, only one of the three women contacted the NFL. The other two, as to the NFL, are apparently new.
All three of them could be new to the Packers, who have said nothing since the three additional allegations came to light. And that’s an important dynamic to remember. Even if the NFL doesn’t take action against Jacobs based on these additional allegations, the Packers could decide to move on from him.
It’s unclear where it will go from here. The statement makes it clear that Jacobs has serious concerns about the impact of the allegations on his career — and that’s without the league or the public seeing the video from the May 2026 incident. If/when the league and the Packers see that video, there’s a chance the other allegations won’t matter.
Friday’s release of police records in the Josh Jacobs case brought to light allegations made by three other women against the Packers running back.
It also creates a problem for Jacobs, based on the things he may have said to the league.
Although there has been no indication that the league has summoned Jacobs to Manhattan for a formal interview in advance of the potential imposition of discipline (that’s often the final step in the investigation), it’s possible — if not likely — that the NFL has had conversations with Jacobs before and/or during his six-game stint on paid leave.
One obvious question to ask Jacobs is whether the incident for which he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery charges was a one-time thing, or whether it has happened before. If the question was asked, and if Jacobs said there are no other incidents, the emergence of new allegations will impact his credibility in the eyes of the league.
Even if the NFL’s effort to explore the new allegations goes nowhere (the league has no subpoena power to compel cooperation by the others who spoke to the authorities in Wisconsin), the mere existence of three additional claims will make the league view anything Jacobs has told them more skeptically.
Regardless of how it plays out, the evidence of the other claims against Jacobs reshuffles the deck, both for the league and for the Packers. The fact that they’ve been linked to trade talks for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor suggests that the team is already considering whether to move on from Jacobs.
If they do, he could have a hard time finding a landing spot, given the new allegations.
So, yes, it’s a real problem for Jacobs. Even though his lawyers have issued a statement downplaying the development, it complicates his standing with the league, with the Packers, and possibly with any other team that could eventually be considering whether to offer him a roster spot, if/when he’s no longer a member of the Green Bay organization.
The NFL’s injury report places no obligation on teams to disclose that a player will be a healthy scratch. The world finds out if a player who is able to play otherwise won’t be playing roughly 90 minutes before kickoff, when the team supplies its list of inactive players.
For the Colts, there’s a decision to be made later this morning. Will running back Jonathan Taylor play at Jacksonville, as they continue to engage in talks aimed at trading him? (The Giants are definitely making a play to get him, and others presumably are, too.)
By all indications, Taylor will play. But if the phone rings before 11:30 a.m. ET and the Colts get an offer they choose not to refuse, the plan could quickly change. (And since the Giants don’t have a game this weekend, they can focus their efforts exclusively on trying to get it done, even if it takes a call from coach John Harbaugh to owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon.)
Three weeks ago, the Cardinals knew on Friday that they’d be trading receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. after Sunday’s game. Harrison didn’t play. It’s possible that one of the teams interested in Taylor will put the right terms on the table in order to persuade the Colts to put Taylor in bubble wrap for Sunday pending a post-game announcement that Taylor will be changing teams.
Without a deal in place imminently, the Colts will be taking a calculated risk if Taylor is active. If he gets injured, the trade market will evaporate.
Like it did on Friday for the Commanders and defensive tackle Daron Payne. There were trade talks regarding Payne, until he suffered a season-ending foot injury in practice.
So even though the trade deadline doesn’t arrive until November 10, there are various other deadlines that could drive a trade decision. For the Colts, the most immediate deadline arrives very soon, when they have to decide whether to let Taylor play and risk an injury that would necessarily close the door on a potential trade.
The NFL was already reviewing the case of Packers running back Josh Jacobs following a no-contest plea to misdemeanor battery arising from an incident that happened in May 2026. The league is now investigating additional allegations that have recently come to light.
“We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open,” the NFL said Saturday in a statement.
Police records released on Friday revealed that three other women made allegations of violence against Jacobs, after the first incident came to light. The league likely will need to identify the individuals and then attempt to persuade them to cooperate.
It significantly raises the potential discipline that may eventually be imposed on Jacobs. He’ll get credit for the six games he missed on paid leave, with a requirement to forfeit the salary he received.
With the Personal Conduct Policy creating a baseline suspension of six games without pay for each incident of domestic violence, along with enhanced penalties for repeat offenses, Jacobs could be facing a lengthy suspension.
More immediately, the question remains whether the Packers will move on from Jacobs. The team had no comment on Saturday morning, in response to the news that three other women have made allegations against Jacobs.
Through it all, the video of the May 2026 incident remains hidden from public view. The NFL wants to see it before finalizing his punishment for the incident that sparked a no-contest plea.
