Josh Jacobs at Packers practice as prosecutors mull charges - ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Josh Jacobs has returned to the Green Bay Packers offseason program and practiced Tuesday while he remains under investigation after being arrested last week on domestic abuse allegations.

Jacobs was on the field with the rest of the Green Bay starters for the first 11-on-11 snap of the team's OTA practice.

«I would say business as usual,» Packers coach Matt LaFleur said before practice, when asked about Jacobs' participation.

The Brown County District Attorney announced last week that he had not yet decided whether to file formal charges. Jacobs was arrested on May 26 in Brown County, Wisconsin, on charges of battery (domestic abuse, criminal damage to property), domestic abuse, disorderly conduct (domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation), and intimidation of a victim following a May 23 incident in which police were called.

Jacobs has issued a statement through his lawyers saying he «vehemently denies the allegations.» He was released from a Wisconsin jail on May 27 during the Packers' first week of OTAs while authorities investigated the case.

LaFleur and veteran players like quarterback Jordan Love and safety Xavier McKinney said Jacobs' situation has been discussed internally and it has not been a distraction to the team.

«Everyone knows what the situation is there, and we've talked,» Love said. «But obviously the details — everybody's keeping that under wraps right now just out of respect for the situation and obviously all the legal stuff that's gonna be playing out.

»But it's great to have Josh here with us, being able to work with us and get back to work. But yeah, everybody's just waiting and letting it play out on its own."

McKinney has known Jacobs longer than anyone in the Packers
