Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers’ lead running back, is facing *three more* serious abuse allegations, including one instance where he allegedly told a woman “I should kill you right now.” This is a massive problem for the veteran NFL star, and these new court records are threatening his entire future in the league, even after he already spent six games sidelined this season.
The Horrifying New Allegations Emerge
NBC28 Green Bay reveals new court records that lay out some truly disturbing details. One of these new allegations, potentially from over five years ago, describes Jacobs becoming irate when a woman refused to have sex with him. The Associated Press reports that during this encounter, the 28-year-old allegedly slapped the victim in the face before saying those chilling words, “I should kill you right now.” You read that right.
But wait, there’s more. A separate female victim told police in April 2021 that Jacobs allegedly grabbed her arms and pushed her up against a wall. This incident, which the AP also states included a sexual encounter, later led to the woman telling Jacobs to get tested for a sexually transmitted disease. Then, a third woman has come forward with allegations from May 2022, claiming Jacobs placed his hands on her head and neck, allegedly dragged her, scratched her, and even took her cell phone. It’s a heavy, brutal read.
A Season Already Plagued By Off-Field Trouble
This isn’t Jacobs’ first rodeo with serious off-field issues this season, not by a long shot. He actually started the 2026 NFL season on the commissioner’s exempt list following a domestic dispute allegation back in May with his then-girlfriend. Commissioner Roger Goodell finally removed him from that list prior to Week 7, which allowed him to return to action for the Packers.
However, the NFL’s investigation originally stemmed from that May encounter. Jacobs plead no contest to one count of misdemeanor battery and criminal damage of property charges in September. Now, with these three additional, serious allegations coming to light, the stakes are impossibly high. The Packers currently sit 5-3 on the season before their Week 9 bye, but you gotta wonder what this means for their locker room and, more importantly, Jacobs’ standing in the league. The NFL still has the option to suspend him, despite his previous absence during the first six games of the season. His future just went from questionable to potentially non-existent.
