The NFL said Saturday it will review additional allegations of physical and verbal abuse against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, revealed as part of a public records release from the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department.
“We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open,” the league said in a statement, per reports. The newly released records include accounts from three women who contacted authorities in the weeks after Jacobs’ May arrest, describing alleged incidents in April 2021, January 2022, and May 2022.
What the Police Records Say About Josh Jacobs
According to the released documents, one woman described an alleged January 2022 incident in which she said Jacobs struck her and took her phone after an argument. A second woman described an alleged April 2021 confrontation in which she said he pushed her against a wall and removed her belongings — though officers noted at the time that they saw no visible injuries. A third woman alleged a May 2022 encounter in which she said he grabbed her, caused scratches and bruises, and took her phone.
None of those earlier reports resulted in charges. These accounts remain allegations and have not been established in court. Jacobs was arrested May 26 after a separate alleged domestic violence incident, and pleaded no contest on September 10 to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property.
Jacobs’ Attorneys Respond as NFL Investigation Continues
Jacobs’ attorneys responded Saturday, stating that “the Brown County District Attorney’s office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months” and determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted. They added that “Josh has repeatedly expressed his remorse and is honoring the terms” of the plea agreement.
Jacobs spent the first six games of the 2026 season on the commissioner’s exempt list and has since returned to the field. Despite the resolution of the criminal case, the NFL’s personal conduct policy investigation remains open — and the new accounts could factor into further discipline.
