GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Attorneys for Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs released a statement denying abuse allegations brought forward by three women, following the release of police records obtained by Action 2 News.
The claims surfaced in newly released case materials from the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, which Action 2 News obtained Friday night.
According to the documents, three women came forward this year alleging physical altercations with Jacobs dating back to 2021 and 2022. Among the claims is an allegation that Jacobs told one of the women, “I should kill you right now.”
Attorneys, coach address claims
In a statement released Sunday, Jacobs’ attorneys said he denies the accounts of all three women and claimed they possess “a substantial body of tangible evidence” supporting his position.
The new allegations follow a September court appearance in which Jacobs pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges stemming from a May altercation involving his girlfriend. A separate legal dispute remains ongoing over whether to release surveillance video from that incident.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the situation during his weekly press conference on Monday, saying he is aware of the allegations and expects Jacobs to remain with the team. However, LaFleur declined to specify whether the new claims have affected Jacobs’ standing with the club.
“Yeah, like I said, I’m not going to get into that up here right now,” LaFleur said. “You know, we’ll just let the process play out.”
NFL review underway
The NFL told Action 2 News it will review the newly released allegations as part of its ongoing investigation. The league did not provide a timeline or status update on that inquiry.
