Josh Jacobs, the running back for the Green Bay Packers, faced new allegations of abuse as three women came forward during the investigation of his May 2026 domestic violence arrest. Initially placed on the commissioner's exempt list, Jacobs pleaded no contest to two Class A misdemeanors—battery and damage to property—in September 2026.

According to NBC26, the allegations surfaced from records released by the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department. Key details include:

• First Woman: Alleged that in January 2022, Jacobs slapped her, threw her phone into a pool, and physically assaulted her, claiming he threatened her life.
• Second Woman: Reported an April 2021 incident where Jacobs pushed her against a wall and threw her belongings outside, resulting in bruising and pain.
• Third Woman: Described a May 2022 encounter where Jacobs allegedly dragged her and scratched her, leading to bruises.

In response to these allegations, Jacobs expressed his frustration, stating, "It's just one of those things where... people are just gonna run with it... it's unfortunate." He emphasized having support from his teammates and dismissed the allegations as fabrications aimed at tarnishing his character.

Jacobs' attorneys released a statement denying all claims, asserting that the police's case file, which contains only uncorroborated phone interviews, lacks thorough investigation. The NFL has stated it will review the new allegations, which may still lead to potential suspension despite Jacobs having served six games on the exempt list. Jacobs remains confident, saying, "With all the evidence that we have... I'm not worried about feeling like I'mma miss any more time than I already have."

As the situation develops, Jacobs continues to confront these challenges while maintaining his focus on the season.
