Woman in Josh Jacobs Case Seeks to Permanently Seal Evidence

Attorneys representing the former girlfriend of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs have filed a motion seeking to permanently seal evidence and discovery materials in the criminal case against the player. The motion, filed Tuesday, aims to protect the woman’s privacy as the NFL continues its own investigation into the incident.

Legal Team Cites Client Privacy

Attorneys Ramses Jalalpour and Amir Tahmassebi said in a statement obtained by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the motion “is consistent with our client’s desire to protect her privacy.” The statement identifies the woman as “ANM,” consistent with the criminal complaint.

Brown County Circuit Judge Marc A. Hammer temporarily sealed the evidence last Thursday after Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property. A permanent seal could prevent the league from reviewing surveillance video from the May 23 incident at Jacobs’ home, which is described in the criminal complaint.

NFL Investigation and Potential Discipline

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the league is attempting to obtain the video as part of its investigation. The complaint alleges Jacobs threw the woman to the ground and damaged her phone, with surveillance footage capturing the portion of the incident that occurred in the garage.

Jacobs was placed on the commissioner exempt list on Aug. 30, meaning he cannot practice or play. He could face a suspension once the NFL concludes its investigation, and time spent on the exempt list would count toward any suspension.

Criminal Case Resolution

Jacobs was convicted of the battery charge and fined $1,000. He agreed to a deferred judgement agreement on the criminal damage to property charge. The court ordered him to have no contact with the victim, pay restitution, attend counseling, and remain under supervision for one year.

“The motion is consistent with our client’s desire to protect her privacy, particularly in light of Mr. Jacobs taking responsibility for his actions in the criminal proceeding,” Jalalpour and Tahmassebi said. “We have no further comment at this time.”

Packers RB Josh Jacobs Pleads No Contest to Misdemeanor Charges in Wisconsin Court

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs entered no contest pleas to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property during a court appearance Thursday in Brown County Circuit Court.

Sentencing Details and Deferred Judgment Agreement

The court fined Jacobs $1,000 plus court costs on the battery charge. On the criminal damage to property count, the judge accepted a deferred judgment agreement. A follow-up hearing is scheduled for September 10, 2027.

During the proceeding, Jacobs addressed the court directly: “I fully understand the seriousness of the situation and I take full responsibility,” Jacobs said during the hearing.

Conditions of the Deferred Judgment

The no contest plea on the property damage charge comes with five court-ordered conditions:
- No further criminal acts
- No contact with the victim
- Supervision
- Counseling
- Pay restitution to the victim
Jacobs’ legal team — attorneys David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld, and Clarence Duchac — issued a statement confirming the criminal damage to property charge will be dismissed after 12 months upon successful completion of the deferred judgment agreement.

“With this agreement, Josh has accepted responsibility for his conduct and resolved this matter,” Jacobs’ attorneys said in the statement. “Today’s resolution is set against a career long history of Josh’s community work while in the NFL, which has centered on the circumstances of his early life.”

Jacobs left the courthouse Thursday without speaking to reporters.

NFL Commissioner Exempt List and Potential Suspension

The NFL placed Jacobs on the commissioner exempt list on August 27 after charges were filed stemming from an alleged incident on May 23 involving a woman at Jacobs’ home near Green Bay. With the plea entered, the league is expected to remove Jacobs from the exempt list and instead impose a suspension.

Under the collective bargaining agreement, the standard suspension for domestic violence cases is six games.

Details from the Criminal Complaint

According to the criminal complaint, surveillance video captured a portion of the alleged incident in Jacobs’ garage. The document states the woman was attempting to exit the garage when Jacobs “grabbed her and threw her to the ground and she struck her head, suffering an injury,” according to the complaint.

Packers in Deep Trouble: Bad News for Micah Parsons as Josh Jacobs Becomes a Serious Problem

The Green Bay Packers will be without star pass rusher Micah Parsons for at least the first month of the 2026 NFL season after placing him on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

The roster designation guarantees that Parsons will miss Green Bay’s first four games as he continues recovering from a torn ACL. His absence is a significant setback for a defense built around his ability to pressure quarterbacks and change games from the edge.

Micah Parsons remains cautious about his return

A Week 6 matchup against Parsons’ former team, the Dallas Cowboys, had emerged as a popular target for his return. However, Parsons has repeatedly avoided committing to a specific timetable.

“I think the people really want Week 6, I just want to come back when I’m feeling like myself again,” Parsons said. “I say Week 6 would be optimistic.”

Although a return against Dallas would add intrigue, Parsons has made clear that the matchup will not dictate his rehabilitation. The key benchmark will be how he feels after being cleared to resume practicing.

“The [21-day practice] window opens the first week of October, two, three weeks of practice, but the reality is you gotta feel like yourself, you gotta be moving again,” he said.

“I don’t wanna go out there and embarrass myself. That’s a real feeling. Packer nation, just know, when I come back, it’s going to be up.”

Week 6 return remains uncertain

Parsons’ cautious approach reflects the importance of protecting his explosiveness and avoiding another setback. Green Bay acquired him as a long-term cornerstone, not as a short-term addition for one marquee game.

Rushing Parsons back for a potential matchup with the Cowboys would make little sense if it compromised his performance or increased the risk of reinjury. At this stage, Week 6 remains a possibility rather than a guarantee.

Packers face defensive challenge without Parsons

Green Bay must find a way to replace the pressure normally generated by its best pass rusher. Lukas Van Ness is expected to take on a larger role, while veteran Javon Hargrave becomes even more important along the defensive front.

There is no true substitute for a player of Parsons’ caliber, meaning the Packers will need a collective effort to manage his absence.

The timing is particularly difficult because Green Bay is also dealing with uncertainty elsewhere on the roster. Running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, creating the possibility that the Packers could open the season without two of their biggest names available.

Parsons has not suffered a new setback, but his absence is now official. Green Bay will miss him for at least four games, with his eventual return depending on whether he feels like himself again.
