NFL to review additional allegations against Packers' Jacobs - ESPN

The NFL said Saturday it will look into additional allegations of physical and verbal abuse by Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs that were revealed as part of a public records release from the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department.

The allegations, released Friday night in response to a public records request, show that three women alleged abuse by Jacobs to the department in incidents dating back to April 2021. The women came forward after learning of Jacobs' arrest in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident in May.

«We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open,» the NFL said in a statement.

Along with the allegations made by the three women, police released reports from the investigation as well as body camera and police dash camera footage from Jacobs' arrest. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property.

«The Brown County District Attorney's office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months,» Jacobs' attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld and Clarence F. Duchac III, said in an emailed statement Saturday. «They conducted their own exhaustive investigation, along with the police department, and the D.A. determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted. They then entered into a plea agreement with Josh Jacobs. Josh has repeatedly expressed his remorse and is honoring the terms of the agreement.»

In the 129-page report of the incident released Friday night — some of which was heavily redacted — the woman making the initial accusations against Jacobs told police he «looked like a different person» during the alleged battery and said he attempted to strangle or
