Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is facing fresh allegations following his return to the field last week

Jacobs was arrested on May 26, ultimately pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property.

He’s now fielding more accusations. 

NBC 26 reported late Friday that a heavily redacted Hobart-Lawrence Police Department case file shows three other women accused Jacobs of abuse. Their accounts date to 2021 and 2022. Two of the women contacted police in June, and the third did so in July.

One woman told police she did not report a 2022 incident because Jacobs told her she could be deported. According to the file, police received her information from the victim in the May case.

NFL insider Tom Pelissero shared the league’s response on Saturday. 

“We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open.”

Jacobs Spent Six Weeks On The Commissioner Exempt List Before Returning

Jacobs sat out the season’s first six weeks on the commissioner exempt list. He played in Green Bay’s last two games.

Pro Football Talk reports that Jacobs remains subject to a possible suspension under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. 

The outlet adds that the new accusations could factor into league discipline.

The player’s lawyers have also responded to the new accusations.

“The Brown County District Attorney’s office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months,” they said. “They conducted their own exhaustive investigation, along with the police department, and the D.A. determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted.”
