A May 2026 arrest of Packers running back Josh Jacobs following a domestic disturbance resulted in no charges being filed.
The case nevertheless remains open.
Via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, the Brown County District Attorney’s Office said via email on July 23 that the investigation is “still open” and that “there will be an update provided once a resolution is reached.”
Jacobs remains available to practice and to play. The possibility of paid leave would arise if he’s formally charged with one or more crimes relating to domestic violence, or if the league determines based on its own investigation that paid leave is required.
For now, it appears that there will be no information until a final decision is made as to whether he’ll be charged. Even if he isn’t charged, Jacobs could be subject to discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy.
Jacobs, 28, is entering his third season with the Packers. He’s signed through 2027.
