Shortly after returning from the NFL's commissioner's exempt list for being involved in an alleged domestic violence dispute, Josh Jacobs was hit with new allegations. Several women came forward, alleging they had similar experiences with the Green Bay Packers running back. On Sunday, Jacobs' lawyers shared their response.
The 28-year-old's attorneys David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld, and Clarence F. Duchac III released a lengthy statement denying the new allegations, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. They claim that Jacobs denies ever being involved in alleged domestic violence disputes in 2021 and 2022.
Jacobs' lawyers state that the eight-year veteran has a “substantial body of tangible evidence” that supports his denial of what was covered in the three telephone interviews regarding the alleged incidents in 2021 and 2022. Chesnoff, Schonfeld, and Duchac go on to provide an official statement for each of the three women who were interviewed and brought up the new allegations.

The NFL has already acknowledged the new allegations Josh Jacobs faces. For now, the league is simply collecting information while the investigation remains open. The situation involving the three-time Pro Bowler is ongoing. In September 2026, Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property for the first allegation back in May 2026.
Jacobs has played the past two games for the Green Bay Packers this season. In those contests, he's accumulated 75 yards and three total touchdowns (one rushing, two receiving) off 32 rush attempts. Jacobs is currently eligible to play in the Packers' Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots.
