GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2014 Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was released from a Wisconsin jail while authorities further investigate allegations of domestic abuse<\/a> .<\/p>

Jacobs was arrested Tuesday in Brown County on allegations of strangulation and suffocation and other offenses over the weekend. His lawyers said he denies wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

District Attorney David Lasee said it\u2019s too soon to make a formal charging decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur office has requested additional investigation, as there is reason to believe that additional evidence may exist that would impact whether criminal charges are appropriate, and what charges would be issued. … The investigation remains open and is ongoing,\u201d Lasee said.<\/p>\n

Jacobs\u2019 lawyers \u2014 David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Clarence Duchac \u2014 said they\u2019re pleased that he\u2019s out of jail.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage everyone to keep an open mind while the matter is fully reviewed. We remain confident that, once all of the evidence is gathered and evaluated, it will confirm that no charges should be brought against Josh in the future,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Hobart\/Lawrence Police Chief Michael Renkas said police responded to a complaint about Jacobs around 8:30 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>

Jacobs is the Packers\u2019 top returning rusher after running for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025. That followed a 2024 season in which he ran for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while earning his third Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n

The Packers began organized team activities Tuesday. The team declined to comment on the arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s going to be a lot of questions about Josh,\u201d coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday. \u201cI\u2019m going to stick with the statement that we put out as an organization and just let the process play out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacobs, 28, is Green Bay\u2019s best player at a position in which the Packers lack depth. Their second-leading rusher last season was Emanuel Wilson, who has since signed with the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers didn\u2019t draft any running backs this year.<\/p>\n

Jacobs spent his first five seasons with the Raiders. He earned All-Pro honors and had an NFL-leading 1,653 yards rushing with Las Vegas in 2022.<\/p>\n

He has rushed for 7,803 yards and 74 touchdowns in his seven-year career. The only active players with more career touchdown runs are Baltimore\u2019s Derrick Henry (122) and Buffalo\u2019s Josh Allen (79).<\/p>
