Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has filed a civil lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction to prevent the release of records and surveillance video related to a May 23 domestic altercation at his home. The lawsuit argues that releasing the garage video would reveal private security details, increasing his risk of burglary and theft, while also compromising the privacy and identity of the victim.
