MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Attorneys for Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs have released a statement after Jacobs was accused of abuse by three women.
The abuse allegations come after Jacobs spent the first six weeks of the 2026-2027 season on the Commissioner’s Exempt List after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property after a fight with his then-girlfriend in May.

The statement from David Z Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld and Clarence F. Duchae III explains that the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department released case files regarding Jacobs to the media last week, and the files included summaries of telephone interviews describing events that happened in 2021 and 2022.
The statement went on to say that Jacobs denies all new allegations and has substantial evidence to back up his assertions.
One of the women made a case to the NFL, which reviewed the claim and found no action was warranted, the statement continued.
The second woman made a claim in 2021, after Jacobs had called the Las Vegas Police Department to his home to report the woman for misconduct. The statement alleges a police report was written that day that undermined the woman’s claims and no further action was taken after she was removed from Jacobs’ home.
Finally, the statement added that Jacobs denies any physical altercation with the third woman, saying the woman came to Las Vegas, stayed at Jacobs’ home overnight and left the following evening in a car she ordered herself. he statement alleges the receipt for the ride is in the files the department released.
“Josh took responsibility for what happened in May,” the statement reads. “He entered into an agreement with prosecutors for two misdemeanors, and he is meeting the court’s requirements.”
“The three accounts are old, are hearsay and easily disproven, yet released to the media by police without any investigation to determine whether they are accurate or contradicted by evidence,” The statement concludes. “Josh is answering them in detail because of the character assassination that is occurring, unfairly threatening his career.”
Jacobs returned to the field in Week 7 with 91 combined yards and a touchdown.
