Scandalized Packers star Josh Jacobs to miss more NFL action after sitting out six games following domestic violence arrest

Green Bay Packers star Josh Jacobs is facing an indefinite spell out after suffering a finger injury that will require surgery.The running back missed the first six weeks of the NFL season after being arrested over a May altercation with his then-girlfriend.He was placed on the commissioner exempt list on August 30 – meaning he could not play or practice – before returning for the Packers against the Detroit Lions last month.Three games into his comeback, however, the running back broke his finger in Sunday’s rout of the New England Patriots.He was forced off after just four rushes and five yards, with the injury appearing to occur when his ring finger got caught in an opposition player’s facemask.  On Monday, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Jacobs will have to go under the knife and will be sidelined indefinitely. The Packers are not ruling out the possibility of Jacobs going on injured reserve, which would guarantee he misses at least four games. Packers star Josh Jacobs is facing an indefinite spell out after suffering a finger injury  He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property Jacobs remains under NFL investigation under its ‘Personal Conduct Policy’ after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property over the May altercation.The Packers, meanwhile, recently confirmed they are sticking with Jacobs despite police revealing the running back has been accused of abuse by multiple women since his battery arrest. The 28-year-old Jacobs was arrested after being accused of attacking his then-live-in girlfriend on May 23, when he allegedly threw her to the ground and destroyed her phone. In September, he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property, thereby allowing him to avoid prison time while paying only a $1,000 fine and court fees. By fulfilling a handful of conditions for 12 months, Jacobs can have the criminal damage to property charge dismissed entirely.The Hobart/Lawrence police claim to have video footage supporting the accuser’s allegations against Jacobs. But although a recent court ruling gave the department the power to release the garage surveillance video, that evidence has not been made public.The department recently released partially redacted records of allegations against Jacobs, plunging his future into more doubt. ‘We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open,’ read a league statement. Those new allegations include claims Jacobs became abusive with women who denied his sexual advances during his previous tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders. Several women claim Jacobs took or destroyed their mobile phones, just as his latest accuser described to Hobart/Lawrence police.Jacobs denied the new allegations and told reporters he has to ‘just roll with the punches’ and allow the process to play out. ‘It’s just one of those things where anything can be said and people are just gonna run with it, and I can’t really change how you feel. At the end of the day, I know what I have, on my part, so it’s just one of those things where it’s unfortunate, especially for me, just being in this position. The Green Bay running back broke his finger in Sunday’s rout of the New England Patriots Packers head coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Jacobs will have to go under the knife ‘You’re like, alright, it’s something else, and now it’s something else, and now it’s something else, and just trying to deal with it and process it and everything is just one of those things where you’ve kind of just got to let it be.’Eventually, it will come a time where we can put out facts, and things like that, and we’ll see if it even matters to do that when that time comes. If not, you’ve got to just roll with the punches.’Asked if he fears another NFL suspension, he replied: ‘No, not at all. Like I said, with all the evidence we have and they have, at this point, it’s not one of those things where I’m sitting back on my hands like, ‘OK, am I going to play this week’.’I kind of already know what it is, so it’s really just up to them to make their final decision. But I’m not worried about feeling like I’m going to miss any more time than I already have.’ Jacobs’ lawyers say they have a ‘substantial body of tangible evidence’ to dispute allegations of battery made against him by multiple women.
