Three More Women Accuse Packers' Josh Jacobs of Abuse
··2 min read
Three more women have accused Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs of abuse, according to police records released this week. The allegations surfaced following Jacobs' May arrest for an altercation with his then-girlfriend.
The new allegations were made by three women who contacted police after Jacobs' arrest. The details of their allegations have not been disclosed, but the information was revealed in public records obtained by ESPN.
Jacobs, 26, was arrested in May after an incident involving his then-girlfriend. The altercation resulted in a domestic violence charge, which was later dropped. The NFL is currently investigating the incident, and Jacobs has been placed on the commissioner's exempt list, which means he is not allowed to practice or play with the team.
In a statement, the Green Bay Packers organization said they are aware of the new allegations and are cooperating with the NFL's investigation. The team has not made any further comments on the matter.
The NFL has a strict policy against domestic violence and has taken disciplinary action against players in the past for such offenses. The league's investigation into Jacobs is ongoing, and no disciplinary action has been taken yet.
Jacobs, who was drafted by the Packers in 2020, has been a key player for the team. He has rushed for over 2,000 yards and scored 15 touchdowns in his career so far. His future with the team is now uncertain as the investigation continues.
This is not the first time Jacobs has faced allegations of abuse. In 2021, he was accused of assaulting a woman in Alabama, but no charges were filed in that case.
Jacobs' attorney has not responded to requests for comment. The NFL and the Green Bay Packers have not released any further information on the ongoing investigation.
