Overview
- On Thursday, Sept. 10, Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property and was fined $1,000 for the battery conviction.
- The court accepted a deferred-judgment agreement on the property-damage charge that requires 12 months of supervision, counseling, restitution, no contact with the victim, and no new crimes to secure dismissal.
- Brown County prosecutors reduced earlier charges after reviewing evidence including surveillance footage and declined to pursue the initial strangulation allegation as a felony.
- Jacobs remains on the NFL’s Commissioner's Exempt List while the league reviews the matter under its Personal Conduct Policy, and the NFL can still impose a suspension independent of the court outcome.
- Under the NFL collective bargaining agreement, any games Jacobs has missed on the exempt list may be credited against a future suspension, which would affect his pay and the timing of his return to the Packers.
