Tom Pelissero reports the Brown County District Attorney has formally charged Packers RB Josh Jacobs with two misdemeanors stemming from his May arrest.
Pelissero adds Jacobs was originally booked on five charges, including strangulation, but now faces reduced charges of misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property.
The NFL has been monitoring all developments in the situation and it remains under review for possible discipline, according to Pelissero.
Jacobs, 28, was selected with the No. 24 overall pick by the Raiders out of Alabama in 2019. He later agreed to a four-year, $11,933,394 rookie contract that included a $6,698,832 signing bonus.
Las Vegas declined Jacobs’ fifth-year options ahead of the 2022 season, which set him up to be an unrestricted free agent in 2023. The team then used the franchise tag on Jacobs worth $10.09 million fully guaranteed for the 2023 season. However, the two sides agreed to an amended one-year deal after Jacobs held out during training camp.
He signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers as an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
In 2025, Jacobs appeared in 15 games for the Packers and recorded 234 rushing attempts for 929 yards (4.0 YPC) and 13 touchdowns, to go along with 36 receptions on 44 targets for 282 yards (7.8 YPC) and one touchdown.
