A police file released late Friday adds accounts from three more women alleging physical abuse by Jacobs in 2021 and 2022.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday he expects running back Josh Jacobs to remain on the roster even after new allegations of abuse surfaced against him.
The case widened late Friday when the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released a heavily redacted file to NBC 26 in Green Bay. It contains accounts from three more women who told police Jacobs physically abused them in separate incidents in 2021 and 2022. Jacobs denies all three accounts. The new allegations come in addition to a May incident that led to his arrest.
"Obviously we're aware of the prior allegations on Josh. We're going to allow the NFL to do its process, but I would anticipate him being a member of us moving forward. That's really all I have to speak on," LaFleur told reporters.
It is not the first time LaFleur has used that phrasing. "I fully anticipate him being a member of our team," he said on Aug. 28 after the preseason finale, before this latest batch of allegations emerged. The NFL's process on the matter is ongoing.
