Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs addressed new abuse allegations on Wednesday, describing them as an attack on his character. The claims surfaced after the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released documents related to a May domestic incident. The newly revealed records included allegations of physical and verbal abuse from three other women, which Jacobs and his attorneys strongly denied.

Jacobs previously pleaded no contest in September to charges of battery and criminal destruction of property. He missed six games on the commissioner's exempt list before returning on October 25 against the Lions. The NFL's personal conduct policy investigation remains ongoing, though Jacobs stated he does not expect to miss further playing time.
