Training camp is supposed to be about depth charts and roster battles, not front offices waiting on a phone call from the league office. But that's where the Rams and Packers find themselves after Adam Schefter dropped a report that Puka Nacua and Josh Jacobs are both still facing possible discipline from the NFL this season.
Adam Schefter lays out that potential discipline is still looming over a group of NFL players, including Nacua and Jacobs.
The Nacua situation stems from his offseason, when a civil lawsuit accused him of biting a woman and making an antisemitic remark; Nacua reportedly checked into a treatment facility during the same stretch. Schefter's report gets specific about the stakes: it's "still being reviewed by the NFL," and there's a real chance Nacua sits out when the Rams and 49ers meet in Week 1 — a game the league is sending to Melbourne, Australia, marking the first regular-season NFL game ever played there.
That's a brutal potential outcome for a receiver who's been the best thing about the Rams offense the last two years and for a franchise that's leaning on the trip as a marquee showcase moment. Losing your No. 1 target for the league's Australia debut isn't a footnote — it's a real dent in the made-for-TV plan.
Jacobs' case is separate and, on paper, heavier. He was arrested in May 2026 following a domestic disturbance call, though no charges were filed, and the Brown County District Attorney's Office confirmed as recently as late July that the investigation remains open with no resolution timeline given. The NFL doesn't need a criminal charge to act under the personal conduct policy, and Schefter's reporting makes clear the league is weighing discipline regardless of what Brown County ultimately decides.
Nacua and Jacobs aren't alone. Schefter's list of players still under review includes Broncos edge rusher Jonathan Cooper, Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson and free agent receiver Tyreek Hill, a reminder that this isn't an isolated storyline but a stack of open cases the league is working through before Week 1.

None of these cases have resolutions yet, which is exactly the problem for teams trying to build a season plan around them. The Rams have to figure out how to game-plan without knowing if their top receiver plays on the other side of the world, and the Packers are stuck doing the same with a starting back whose legal situation is still unresolved. Camp battles are usually about who wins a job. This year, for a handful of teams, the bigger question is who's even allowed to show up.
