Court Date for Packers Running Back Josh Jacobs Moved up to Sept. 10
Jacobs faces misdemeanor battery and property damage charges, and his attorneys filed authorization for them to appear without him at the hearing.
- Wisconsin Circuit Court records show Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs' initial hearing has been moved to September 10, three days before the season opener at Minnesota, accelerating his court date by more than two months.
- Brown County District Attorney David Lasee charged Jacobs with battery and criminal damage to property following a May 23 altercation at his Hobart home, where police allege he grabbed his girlfriend and threw her to the ground.
- The NFL placed the 28-year-old running back on the commissioner's exempt list, barring him from playing or practicing while the league investigates, though he continues to receive his paycheck and does not count against the 53-man roster.
- Jacobs' legal team filed an authorization to appear on his behalf, meaning he will likely not attend the September 10 hearing in person as the Packers prepare for the season without him.
- Even if the court case resolves on September 10, the NFL must independently determine whether the incident warrants punishment, as only the commissioner can remove Jacobs from the exempt list with no set timeline for a decision.
