Packers running back Josh Jacobs is facing serious legal trouble tonight. Jacobs was arrested Tuesday and booked into Brown County Jail on five criminal charges, including strangulation and suffocation and battery related to domestic abuse, after police responded to a disturbance complaint over the weekend. This is a significant off-field situation for Green Bay heading into the offseason.
Shifting to a contract that reshapes the safety market, the Los Angeles Chargers have made Derwin James Junior the highest-paid safety in the NFL for the second time in his career. The All-Pro defender agreed to a three-year extension worth seventy-five point six million dollars, a deal confirmed by his agent David Mulugheta. James has now reset his own benchmark twice, which tells you everything about how the Chargers value him.
And on a somber note, the baseball world lost one of its most memorable figures. Bob Horner, the power-hitting third baseman who went first overall in nineteen seventy-eight and hit a home run in his very first major league game after skipping the minors entirely, passed away at sixty-eight. A remarkable career, a remarkable entrance, and a legacy that Atlanta Braves fans will never forget.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
