Packers RB Jacobs Court Date Moved To Sept 10

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs' initial court appearance on misdemeanor charges stemming from a May altercation has been moved up to Thursday, September 10, 2026. The hearing was originally scheduled for November 17. Jacobs was placed on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List on August 30, preventing him from practicing or playing with the team while allowing him to continue receiving his paycheck. The league is investigating the situation, and he could face a suspension. Any games missed while on the exempt list would count toward a potential suspension, though he would have to repay earnings from that period. The charges against Jacobs include one misdemeanor count of battery and one misdemeanor count of criminal damage to property. Authorities allege that on May 23, Jacobs engaged in a dispute with his girlfriend at his Brown County home. According to the criminal complaint, the woman accused Jacobs of talking to other women. During the altercation, she reportedly threw his phone in anger. Police allege that Jacobs then grabbed her arm, leading to a struggle.
