Josh Jacobs case: Judge reportedly denies victim's request to permanently seal evidence, including surveillance video
Had the evidence been permanently sealed, the NFL might not have been able to review the video from the May 23 incident at Jacobs' home in Green Bay.
In a recent court hearing, Brown County District Court Judge Marc A. Hammer denied the victim's request to permanently seal evidence in the case against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs. This includes the surveillance video that captured a portion of the alleged incident on May 23 at Jacobs' home in Green Bay. The NFL's investigation into the matter is ongoing and could result in a suspension for Jacobs, however, time served on the commissioner exempt list would count towards a suspension.
Jacobs has been on that list since Aug. 30 and has missed the Packers' first two games of the 2026 campaign. The victim and Jacobs have the opportunity to appeal if the Hobart/Lawrence police department decides to release evidence, which would take place before the potential release of that evidence.
