Josh Jacobs’ legal team is pushing back hard after fresh allegations surfaced against the Green Bay Packers running back.
The 28-year-old was recently back from the NFL’s commissioner's exempt list following an alleged domestic violence dispute, only to face new claims from several women who said they had similar experiences with him. On Sunday, Jacobs’ lawyers answered with a firm denial.

Schonfeld, and Clarence F. Duchac III released a lengthy statement, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, saying 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 his denial of what was described in three telephone interviews tied to the alleged incidents from those years.
The lawyers also issued an official statement addressing each of the three women who were interviewed and raised the new allegations.
The NFL has already acknowledged the latest claims against Jacobs and is continuing to gather information while the investigation remains open. The matter is still ongoing.
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 played in the Packers’ last two games this season, totaling 75 yards and three 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.

Bucks Just Showed Which Young Pieces Matter Most After Giannis
The Bucks have already made one thing clear about the post-Giannis era: Kel'el Ware and Kasparas Jakucionis are part of the plan. Milwaukee is exercising its rookie scale team options on both players for the 2027-28 season, a sign that the front office sees real value in the two young pieces it picked up in the offseason trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Both have fit in as useful bench contributors this season, but Ware has stood out in a bigger way. He has become Milwaukee's third-leading scorer and leading rebounder, while Jakucionis has earned steady minutes and the trust of the coaching staff. The Bucks still have plenty to sort through as they reshape the roster, but these two have done enough to secure a longer look. [Read more 🡒]
Bucks Keep Getting Good Looks But One Problem Is Costing Them Wins
The Bucks have leaned hard into the modern math this season, firing away from deep at a rate that puts them near the top of the league in both attempts and makes. The shot quality has generally been there, too, which is part of why head coach Taylor Jenkins has been pointing to efficiency rather than opportunity when he talks about the offense. Milwaukee is creating looks, but the overall return has been uneven, and a 33.9% clip from beyond the arc leaves plenty of room for the kind of missed chances that can swing tight games.
Myles Turners season has become part of that broader problem. The veteran big man has long been able to stretch the floor, but his 3-point shooting has dipped to 19.2%, a sharp drop from what he has done in previous years. For a Bucks team trying to make a high-volume perimeter attack work, getting Turner back to anything close to his usual level would go a long way toward turning those good looks into wins.

Bucks Are Already Trusting Kasparas Jakuionis In Big Moments
Kasparas Jakuionis did not arrive in Milwaukee as a finished product, but the Bucks have already shown they are willing to lean on him when the game starts tightening up. The 20th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft spent one season with Miami before coming over in the Giannis Antetokounmpo deal, and his early numbers in Milwaukee suggest a player settling into a bigger role rather than simply filling one.
After a rookie year that produced modest scoring and playmaking, Jakuionis has opened his second season with better production across the board, even if the three-point shot has been slow to come around. Still, the Bucks are encouraged enough by the way he is developing that both Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Taylor Jenkins have publicly praised his impact, a sign that his growing responsibility may be more than just a short-term experiment.
