Josh Jacobs’ legal team pushed back against the newly revealed allegations against the NFL running back in a lengthy statement on Sunday, criticizing what they called a “character assassination” that is “unfairly” impacting Jacobs.

Over the weekend, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin released a redacted report from the department’s investigation into the Green Bay star’s alleged May 23, 2026, domestic violence incident, which included accusations by three other women of alleged physical abuse at the hands of Jacobs. 

A statement from his lawyers, David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld and Clarence F. Duchac III, said Jacobs denied “all three accounts” of the alleged incidents that occurred between 2021 and 2022 and that he “has a substantial body of tangible evidence to back up his assertions.”

“The police department’s released file contains only phone interviews, taken years after the fact, with no additional investigation, save for an acknowledgement that Josh did nothing wrong,” the statement read. “Josh was not given an opportunity to present evidence to Hobart-Lawrence in response to the uncorroborated report, primarily because Hobart-Lawrence took no action related to the unsupported and stale allegations.

“One of these three women made a claim to the NFL, which reviewed it and decided no action was warranted. Josh has kept evidence that supports his accounts and the NFL’s decision. Nothing in the released file indicates that any such evidence was used or even sought. Indeed, the police report did not even present any of this information.”

The statement went on to allege that another woman made a claim against Jacobs after he called authorities to his Las Vegas home in 2021 because of “misconduct” by the woman.

“A police report was written that day, which effectively undermined her claims. No further action was taken by any authority after she was removed from Josh’s home,” the statement claims. 

Jacobs also denied any physical altercation with the third woman, who his lawyers claimed reached out to the Packers running back and asked to visit him in Las Vegas. 

They say the woman visited with no issue and that there was another person present at the house when she was there.

“She stayed there overnight and left the following evening — on her own, in a car she ordered herself,” the statement continued. “The receipt for that ride is in the police file the department released, and it is consistent with Josh’s account of how the visit ended, not hers.”

NBC 26 in Wisconsin first reported on the new details on Friday night after they were released following a public records request. 

The women came forward to Hobart-Lawrence Police after Jacobs’ May arrest for the alleged domestic violence incident between Jacobs and his then-girlfriend. 

He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in relation to the May incident, in which his girlfriend alleged that he grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the ground. Bodycam footage of the arrest was also released on Saturday.

“Josh took responsibility for what happened in May. He entered into an agreement with prosecutors for two misdemeanors, and he is meeting the court’s requirements,” Sunday’s statement said. “The three accounts are old, are hearsay, and easily disproven, yet released to the media by police without any investigation to determine whether they were accurate or contradicted by evidence. Josh is answering them in detail because of the character assassination that is occurring, unfairly threatening his career.”

Jacobs was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list in August, causing him to miss the first six games. He has since played two games for the Packers, and the NFL’s investigation into Jacobs is still ongoing.

“We will review these allegations as part of the investigation, which has remained open,” the NFL said in a statement Saturday.
