“Jacobs grabbed her and threw her to the ground and she struck her head, suffering an injury. Jacobs then took her phone from her while she was on the ground. ANM laid on the ground for a while and then struggled to walk back into the house,” according to Matt Schneidman’s post on X (formerly Twitter).

The Packers running back remains available to Green Bay for the time being, with no NFL discipline handed down yet. However, a suspension remains possible as the league reviews the situation, particularly now that details from the incident report have become public. Until a decision is made, Jacobs can continue practicing and appearing in Green Bay’s preseason games.
The possibility of a Josh Jacobs suspension has already influenced how the Packers are handling their backfield. MarShawn Lloyd has received a significant share of the work throughout training camp and the preseason, giving him valuable preparation should Jacobs be forced to miss games.
