NFL to review additional abuse allegations against Packers star Josh Jacobs following May arrest

Since Josh Jacobs was arrested in May after an incident in which a woman claimed he threw her to the ground, records show several other women have come forward with allegations of their own against him.

The other women's abuse allegations are detailed in records from the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department first obtained by NBC 26. The documents also contain new details about the incident that led to the Green Bay Packers running back’s arrest in May.

"We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open," the NFL told OutKick in a statement.

One woman contacted police in June 2026 about an alleged incident involving Jacobs in January 2022. The woman told police that the allegations against Jacobs from the investigation into the May incident sounded similar to her experience with him, according to the records. The woman was not identified.

The woman believed her alleged experience with Jacobs could be relevant to the May 2026 case, and she contacted police because she wanted people to believe the woman involved in the incident.

The woman claimed she had communicated with Jacobs for about six months before spending around 11 hours at his home. The woman then alleged that after she told Jacobs she hadn’t come there for sex, he became angry, slapped her across the face and told her not to disrespect him.

She said he allegedly took her phone and threw it into a swimming pool when she attempted to leave, and that he grabbed her by the hair, threw her onto a bed, pinned her down, threw her to the floor and said, "I should kill you right now." She said Jacobs also spit on her.

The woman said she hadn’t previously reported the alleged incident to law enforcement because she remained friends with Jacobs afterward and was concerned her allegations wouldn’t be believed.

Another woman told police she allegedly had sex with Jacobs in April 2021. The woman said his condom broke, so she told Jacobs to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases because they both had been involved with other people.

The woman claimed Jacobs later removed her from the residence, grabbed her by the arms and bicep area, pushed her against a wall and threw her belongings out. She told police that she sustained bruises to her arms and swelling in her rib area.

Hobart/Lawrence police said they obtained records from that incident indicating that officers observed "no visible signs of injury, bruising or damage consistent with a physical altercation."

Another woman alleged she had met Jacobs through social media and that he flew her to a residence in May 2022. She described an alleged altercation in which Jacobs grabbed her by the hair, placed his hands on her head and neck, dragged her, scratched her chest and took her phone after it fell to the floor.

The woman claimed she got bruises on her arm and scratches to her chest and neck. She said she didn’t report the incident to police because she wasn’t a U.S. citizen at the time and Jacobs told her she could be deported.

Jacobs' lawyers — David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld and Clarence F. Duchac III — issued a statement Saturday on their client's behalf:

"The Brown County District Attorney’s office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months. 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."

OutKick reached out to the Packers and Jacobs’ agent but did not immediately receive a response.

The records released Friday also offered more details of the May 23 incident that led to Jacobs’ arrest. According to the criminal complaint released in August, the woman told them that Jacobs grabbed her and threw her to the ground as she was trying to exit a garage door, causing her to hit her head. Police said Jacobs also took her phone from her while she was on the ground.

The records released Friday noted the woman said that while they were still in the home, Jacobs lunged at her, pinned her on the bed with his body weight on her chest and put his hand on her mouth and nose, so that she felt she couldn’t breathe.

She also indicated that she believed she lost consciousness for a brief time when the confrontation moved to the garage.

Jacobs pleaded no contest last month to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property.

Jacobs had not been allowed to play or practice while on the commissioner’s exempt list. He was removed from the list last week, but the NFL is still conducting its investigation.

In his two games since returning to the 5-3 Packers, Jacobs has rushed 32 times for 75 yards and a touchdown, averaging just 2.3 yards per carry. The three-time Pro Bowler has been more productive as a receiver, catching 11 passes for 68 yards and two touchdowns.

After scoring one of his touchdowns in the Packers’ 27-19 win over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, Jacobs had a controversial touchdown celebration.

He insisted he wasn’t making light of his recent arrest and that the celebration was instead inspired by a gospel song.
