Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has returned to play after spending the first six games of the season on the commissioner's exempt list. This followed his arrest in May for misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department released records from their investigation that included accounts from three other women with similar allegations from years before. Jacobs' lawyers have stated that he has a 'substantial body of tangible evidence' disputing these allegations. The NFL is still investigating the matter and Jacobs could face further discipline.
Jacobs' legal team has issued statements defending him against the new allegations. They claim the accounts are old, hearsay, and easily disproven. They also noted that one of the women made a claim to the NFL, which decided no action was warranted. Jacobs' lawyers say he has evidence supporting his accounts and the NFL's decision. The NFL has said it will review the latest allegations as part of its ongoing investigation into Jacobs.
