Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs Pleads No Contest to 2 Misdemeanor Charges
Josh Jacobs accepted a deferred judgment agreement and was fined $1,000 plus court costs after pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery.
- On Thursday, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property charges in Brown County Court.
- Charges stem from a May 23 altercation in Hobart where Jacobs allegedly grabbed his girlfriend, causing her to strike her head, and later damaged her phone.
- Jacobs must pay a $1,000 fine and complete 12 months of counseling and supervision; the property damage charge will be dismissed if he avoids further crimes and victim contact.
- While the legal case progresses, Jacobs remains on the NFL commissioner's exempt list, preventing him from practicing or playing games until the league concludes its investigation.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the situation Wednesday, stating that while clarity would help, the team must "wait and see" regarding Jacobs' status before Sunday's season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
