Josh Jacobs charged with two misdemeanors after May arrest

Green Bay prepared for possible 2026 league discipline.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 271 min read

What happened: The Brown County District Attorney's Office charged Josh Jacobs with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. The May arrest followed a domestic-disturbance call, and Jacobs has remained available to practice and play.

Why it matters: The NFL could discipline Jacobs under its Personal Conduct Policy. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said the team has prepared for a possible suspension during the 2026 season.

By the numbers: Two of the five allegations listed at arrest resulted in charges. Prosecutors are not pursuing the felony strangulation and suffocation allegation or two other misdemeanors.

What to watch: Court proceedings and any NFL disciplinary decision will determine Jacobs' availability during the 2026 season.
