Packers' Josh Jacobs was accused of abuse by 3 other women after May arrest, records show

Jacobs missed the first six weeks of the season and returned in Week 7 for the Packers.

Multiple women have accused Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs of abuse, police records reveal. According to NBC26, at least three women contacted authorities while Jacobs was under investigation for a separate incident in May. One woman reported that Jacobs slapped her and took her cellphone in January 2022, while another alleged he grabbed her arms, pushed her against a wall and threw items in April 2021.

A third woman claimed Jacobs grabbed her head, dragged her, scratched her chest and stole her phone in May 2022, leaving her with bruising and scratches. All three women said they did not initially report the incidents to police, but came forward to potentially assist with the current case. Jacobs was arrested and charged with domestic abuse after allegedly grabbing a woman trying to leave his garage and throwing her to the ground in May.

He pleaded no contest to the charges and missed the start of the NFL season. The NFL may still impose a suspension on Jacobs for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
