Packers RB Josh Jacobs describes latest abuse allegations as an 'attack,' not worried about suspension from league

Yahoo Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has denied new abuse allegations made against him, describing the accusations as an "attack" on his character and asserting that many claims are false and fabricated.
  • Jacobs was previously arrested in May on multiple domestic abuse charges, pleaded no contest to battery and criminal damage to property, and missed the first six games of the NFL season while on the commissioner's exempt list.
  • Recently released police files revealed three additional women accused Jacobs of various abusive acts, including physical assault and property damage, but Jacobs and his attorney maintain they have substantial evidence refuting these claims.
  • The NFL is currently investigating the new allegations and may impose a suspension; however, Jacobs and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expect him to remain on the team and not face further disciplinary action.
  • Jacobs also addressed criticism over a handcuff-themed touchdown celebration, stating it referenced a gospel song rather than his legal troubles, and apologized to his coach for any negative attention it caused the team.
