NFL Investigates New Allegations Against Josh Jacobs

The NFL is currently investigating new allegations of physical abuse against Packers running back Josh Jacobs, as reported by police records. Three women have come forward with accusations, which are said to be linked to incidents from 2021 and 2022. Jacobs, 28, previously pled no contest to two misdemeanors related to a domestic violence incident in May and was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list for the first six games of the season.

Jacobs' attorneys defended him, stating that the Brown County District Attorney’s office had previously investigated these uncorroborated allegations and determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted, leading to a plea agreement. The NFL confirmed that its investigation remains open, indicating that further action may be taken based on the new allegations. Jacobs has played in the Packers' last two games and was seen making a handcuff gesture in celebration of a touchdown, which has drawn attention amid the ongoing scrutiny.
