Overview
- Jacobs entered no-contest pleas Thursday, Sept. 10, was convicted on a misdemeanor battery count and fined $1,000 by a Brown County judge.
- The criminal damage to property charge was placed on a one-year deferred-judgment that will be dismissed if Jacobs avoids further crimes, has no contact with the victim, completes counseling, submits to supervision and pays restitution.
- Police and prosecutors said surveillance video and the criminal complaint corroborated the alleged victim’s account that Jacobs grabbed her and threw her to the ground causing visible injury.
- The NFL has left Jacobs on the Commissioner’s Exempt List while it reviews the matter under the Personal Conduct Policy, so he remains paid but barred from practicing and playing during the review.
- The Packers adjusted their backfield for the Week 1 opener and the timing of Jacobs’s return now depends on whether the league imposes a suspension and how many exempt-list games, if any, are later credited toward that punishment.
