More allegations have surfaced against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, with NBC 26 reporting that police records now point to additional women accusing him of abuse.
According to those records, a second woman came forward in June after Jacobs’ first abuse investigation had already become public. She said the incident took place in January 2022.
In her account, Jacobs slapped her across the face, took her cellphone when she tried to leave his residence, grabbed her by the hair, threw her onto a bed, pinned her down, then later threw her onto the floor. She also alleged that he spit on her and grabbed her by the throat.
That accusation comes as Jacobs and the victim in his initial abuse case are suing the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in an effort to keep certain evidence - including a video of the incident - permanently sealed on privacy grounds. The NFL has already allowed Jacobs back on the field after he served six games on the commissioner exempt list, but the league has not yet ruled on a possible suspension. An active investigation remains open, and the league is still interested in the video.
Because Jacobs spent time on the commissioner exempt list, those six weeks would count as “time served” if a suspension is eventually handed down. The NFL has not issued a statement saying whether it is aware of this second accusation or when it learned of it. For now, Jacobs remains on the Packers’ active roster, has not lost any money, and played north of 70 percent of Green Bay’s running back snaps on Thursday Night Football in Week 8.
NBC 26 later reported a third woman had also accused Jacobs of abuse. In records, she said 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 and pain and swelling in her rib area.
That woman told Hobart/Lawrence police she had called police at the time. She also said she later contacted an unnamed police department and was told the matter was not being investigated as a domestic incident because she and Jacobs were not in a relationship then. The records released to NBC 26 say detectives with the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department received records from that call, and those records showed responding officers saw no visible signs of injury, bruising or damage consistent with a physical altercation.
A separate report described another phone call with a third woman in July, who told Hobart/Lawrence Police that in May 2022 Jacobs placed his hands on her head and neck, dragged her, scratched her chest and took her cellphone after it fell to the floor. She said she had bruising on her arm and scratches on her chest that remained visible for about a month.
She said she did not report the incident to police or seek medical treatment at the time. According to the records, Jacobs told her she could be deported, and she said that made her believe she could not go to law enforcement.
NBC 26 said police were given that woman’s information by the initial victim in the May 2026 case that led to Jacobs’ arrest and conviction.

Josh Jacobs Had To Address A Packers Celebration Controversy
Josh Jacobs one-yard touchdown run was supposed to be just another hard-earned scoring play, but the celebration afterward quickly became the bigger conversation. When he put his hands behind his back, the gesture drew attention because of his past legal issues tied to a domestic dispute, and it was enough to prompt questions about whether there was any message behind it.
Jacobs pushed back on that reading, saying there was no disrespect intended and framing the moment as part of a planned celebration. The episode came shortly after his return to action from the commissioners exempt list, a stretch that put his off-field situation back under a bright spotlight even as he has tried to focus on football, show remorse and move forward with the Packers.

Packers Win Couldnt Hide A Roster Problem Green Bay Must Fix
The Packers got the result they needed, but the win did little to disguise a rushing attack that has been stuck near the bottom of the league through seven games. Green Bays ground game has struggled to find any rhythm, and the problems have only been made worse by injuries up front, where the offensive line has been shuffling through personnel issues and losing stability at center.
Sean Rhyans absence looms over the discussion even more now, because the Packers are trying to keep the offense balanced without one of the key pieces that helps hold the line together. If Green Bay decides the answer has to come from outside the building, the kind of moves being floated would point to a team that knows it needs help in a hurry, even if any real solution would take some doing.

Xavier McKinneys Stand After The Lions Loss Came At A Price
Xavier McKinneys latest night at Lambeau Field was a reminder that the Packers defense can still swing a game, even as the safety continues to carry some baggage from the week before. Green Bay beat Carolina 27-19 to move to 5-3, and McKinney was right in the middle of it with three sacks and a pass defended, giving the Packers the kind of disruptive performance they needed after a tense stretch.
McKinney also revealed there was a cost attached to his postgame frustration after the loss to Detroit, when he publicly took aim at the officiating. The league response landed in the form of a fine, and McKinney made clear he was prepared for the consequences when speaking up for his team, turning his stance into another subplot for a Packers defense that has already had plenty to deal with this season.
