Jacobs is slated to be released from custody Wednesday, and the Brown County District Attorney's Office has announced that it is "not yet prepared to make a formal charging decision" and will make a final charging decision at a later date, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. The Brown County District Attorney's Office's announcement states "there is reason to believe that additional evidence may exist that would impact whether criminal charges are appropriate, and what charges would be issued." Jacobs was arrested and booked on Tuesday on five preliminary charges, including felony strangulation and misdemeanor counts of assault, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct and intimidation of a victim. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team is "going to let the process play out" when asked during OTAs on Wednesday about Jacobs' status, Clayton Holloway of NFL Network reports.

Josh Jacobs: Breaking News
Arrested Tuesday
Jacobs was arrested Tuesday and booked into Brown County Jail on five charges, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Jacobs' arrest and subsequent charges, which include felony strangulation and misdemeanor counts of assault, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct and intimidation of a victim, per NFL.com, stem from an incident that reportedly occurred last Saturday morning, according to a release from the Hobart-Lawrence (Wisconsin) Police Department. Schneidman notes that in a statement to The Athletic, a Packers spokesperson said, "we are aware of the matter involving Josh Jacobs. As it is an ongoing legal situation, we will withhold further comment." Additionally, the NFL released statement that it was "aware of the report" and has "been in contact with the club." Jacobs is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he rushed for 929 yards and logged 282 receiving yards, while scoring 14 total touchdowns in 15 games.
Stymied by Bears in playoff loss
Jacobs rushed 19 times for 55 yards and brought in one of three targets for one yard in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also returned two kickoffs for 61 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay. After getting Week 18 off for rest, Jacobs came into Saturday's postseason matchup refreshed, but a Bears defense that had been vulnerable to the run at times was highly effective in cutting off his rushing lanes. Jacobs' long run of the night went for a modest 13 yards, meaning he netted just 42 yards on his other 18 carries. Jacobs had a quiet finish to the regular season as well since he generated just a 16-39-0 rushing line in his last two contests, and he finished the 2025 campaign having amassed 929 rushing yards (4.0 yards per carry), a 36-282-1 tally through the air on 44 targets and three fumbles (two lost) across 15 regular-season games.
