Judge Denies Permanent Sealing of Video in Josh Jacobs Case

NBC Sports reported that on September 18 a Brown County judge rejected a request to permanently seal the video of the altercation involving Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, leaving the evidence accessible as disciplinary proceedings continue. Jacobs had entered a no-contest plea to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage charges on September 8, remaining on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list while the league began a personal-conduct policy review, as confirmed by USA Today. The league scheduled interviews with Jacobs and prepared backup running back MarShawn Lloyd, and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the conviction did not change his assessment of the player, according to the New York Times.
