“Yes, we talked inside,” Love said. “Everyone knows what the situation is there. We talked, but of course the details, everyone is keeping it secret at the moment, out of respect for the situation and of course all the legal issues that will arise.”
Despite the uncertainty, Love said Jacobs was business as usual on the practice field with his teammates.
“But it’s great to have Josh here with us, to be able to work with us and get back to work,” he added. “But yeah, everyone waits and lets it progress on its own.”
