Josh Jacobs is facing fresh scrutiny just after making his way back from the NFL’s commissioner's exempt list, and his legal team isn’t backing off one bit.
On Sunday, attorneys David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A.
Schonfeld, and Clarence F. Duchac III issued a lengthy denial of the new allegations, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
The response came after several women said they had similar experiences with the Green Bay Packers running back, following the earlier domestic violence dispute that had already put him under the league’s microscope.
The lawyers say Jacobs denies ever being involved in alleged domestic violence disputes in 2021 and 2022. They also said the eight-year veteran has a “substantial body of tangible evidence” backing up his denial of what was described in the three telephone interviews tied to the alleged incidents from those years. Chesnoff, Schonfeld, and Duchac also offered an official statement addressing each of the three women who were interviewed and raised the new claims.
The NFL has already acknowledged the allegations and is still gathering information as the investigation stays open. The matter remains ongoing for the three-time Pro Bowler. In September 2026, Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property for the first allegation back in May 2026.

On the field, Jacobs has suited up for the Packers’ last two games and has produced 75 yards and three total touchdowns - one rushing and two receiving - on 32 carries. He remains eligible to play in Green Bay’s Week 9 game against the New England Patriots.

Packers Found An Unexpected Answer Amid Their Offensive Line Chaos
The Packers have spent much of the season patching together their offensive line after injuries forced the front office to keep adding help. Laken Tomlinson, Kevin Zeitler and Mekhi Becton all arrived to stabilize a group that needed reinforcements, and while the depth chart has remained in flux, Green Bay has kept winning enough to sit at 5-3 despite the churn up front.
Tomlinson has ended up being the most useful of the trio so far, carving out a meaningful role while others have yet to factor in as much. He has moved around the line and given the Packers a steadier presence in pass protection, which matters for a team still trying to survive the weekly strain of injuries and find a reliable combination before the season asks for even more.

Packers Face Two Midseason Questions That Could Change Everything
Green Bays midseason picture has two obvious pressure points, and both could shape the rest of the season in a hurry. The Packers have been linked to Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor as a way to give their rushing attack a much-needed lift, while the defense is also waiting on Micah Parsons, who is working back from a torn ACL and is expected to rejoin the lineup around Week 12.
Those are the kinds of developments that can alter not just how the Packers look week to week, but how they stack up in the NFC race. The playoff projections and division outlook already make clear how narrow the margin is, and Green Bays next move on offense, plus the timing of Parsons return, could end up being the difference between merely staying in the hunt and forcing the conversation in the second half.

Packers Suddenly Have A Receiver Problem They May Need To Trade For
Jayden Reeds season-ending absence has turned a position that already felt thin into a real concern for Green Bay. The Packers have leaned on receiver depth all year, but the group has been uneven enough that the loss of one of their more reliable options changes the conversation around how much help they may need before the stretch run.
Christian Watsons injury history only sharpens the urgency, because the Packers cannot afford to keep crossing their fingers and hoping the room stays intact. With that in mind, the idea of exploring the trade market for a receiver has started to make more sense, and one name tied to that discussion is Los Angeles Chargers wideout Quentin Johnston, a move that would be aimed at giving Green Bay both insurance and a little more stability.
