The Josh Jacobs case has another layer for the Green Bay Packers. According to NBC26, newly released police records show multiple other women accused the Packers running back of abuse. The allegations predate the May incident that led to his arrest and conviction.

The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department released the records to NBC26 and The Leap on Friday in a heavily redacted case file. The department did not release video evidence from the case involving Jacobs’ ex-girlfriend. However, the records show additional women contacted the department to report alleged physical incidents involving Jacobs.

What the records show

Per NBC26, one woman alleged an incident from January 2022. She contacted police in June 2026, while investigators were looking into the more recent case. According to the records, the woman, who was not identified, reached out after learning about the May investigation. She told police the allegations sounded similar to her own alleged experience with Jacobs and believed it could be relevant.

The woman alleged Jacobs slapped her across the face and later took her cell phone as she attempted to leave his residence. She also told investigators Jacobs grabbed her by the hair, threw her onto a bed, pinned her down, and later threw her onto the floor. Additionally, she alleged Jacobs spit on her and grabbed her by the throat.

Another woman contacted police later that month. She alleged that during an argument in April 2021, Jacobs grabbed her by the arms and bicep area, pushed her against a wall near a window, and threw her belongings outside the home. She said she suffered bruising to her arms, plus pain and swelling in her rib area.

That woman told the department she called the police at the time. According to the records released to NBC26, Hobart-Lawrence detectives obtained records from that call. Those records indicated responding officers observed no visible signs of injury, bruising, or damage consistent with a physical altercation.

The report also described a phone call in July with a third woman. She told police that in May 2022, Jacobs placed his hands on her head and neck, dragged her, scratched her chest, and took possession of her cell phone after it fell to the floor. She said she suffered bruising to her arm and scratches to her chest that remained visible for about a month, according to the records. Per the report, she didn’t report the incident at the time because Jacobs told her she could be deported.

Jacobs was still playing for the Las Vegas Raiders when all three of the alleged incidents took place.

NFL discipline still possible

These accounts surfaced during the department’s investigation into a May 23 incident at Jacobs’ home in Hobart. The victim told investigators Jacobs restrained her multiple times. Police arrested Jacobs on May 26, and he was later released from jail. He was convicted of misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property after pleading no contest.

On the football side, Jacobs spent six weeks on the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt List. The league has not suspended him, at least to this point. Nonetheless, a suspension remains possible, and the time on the exempt list would count toward it. Therefore, a six-game suspension wouldn’t force him to miss any more games. An eight-game suspension, for example, would cost him two more.

Jacobs has played two games for Green Bay since returning, against the Detroit Lions and the Carolina Panthers. He has 32 rushing attempts for 75 yards and one touchdown, plus 11 receptions for 68 yards and two receiving touchdowns.

Contract implications for the running back

Jacobs is in the third year of the four-year, $48 million contract he signed with the Packers in 2024. He’s making $11.5 million this year, including a $10.2 million base salary. If the NFL suspends him, he would have to forfeit part of that base salary.

Jacobs is slated to make $13.5 million next year. However, nothing on the deal is guaranteed anymore. The only guaranteed portion of his contract was a $12.5 million signing bonus paid in 2024.

It’s unclear whether the new records will change how the Packers or the NFL view the situation. The legal case is already resolved.
