Packers’ Jacobs isn’t worrying over whether additional allegations will lead to more punishment

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs told reporters that he is not concerned about additional allegations potentially leading to more punishments. Jacobs pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges after an altercation with his girlfriend in May. The NFL investigation into Jacobs is ongoing, but he has returned to play in the last two games of the season.

Jacobs' lawyers claim they have substantial evidence disputing new allegations from years ago, which the police in Wisconsin released after a public records request. These alleged incidents involve three women all making claims against Jacobs. Jacobs' legal team stated that one of these women had previously reported the incident to the NFL, but the league decided not to take action. The NFL has not commented on the lawyers' statement.
