Packers GM says team has not seen video in Josh Jacobs case

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that the team has not seen the video evidence in the criminal case involving running back Josh Jacobs, who faces two misdemeanor charges from an alleged incident in May.

Jacobs was formally charged last Thursday by the Brown County District Attorney with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. The charges stem from an alleged incident on May 23 with a woman at Jacobs' home in the Green Bay area, according to the criminal complaint.

The complaint states that the woman was trying to exit Jacobs' garage when he "grabbed her and threw her to the ground and she struck her head, suffering an injury." It also says there is surveillance footage from the camera system that "corroborates the relevant portions of [the woman's] statement that one would expect to have seen on video," but noted the video is only from the garage and not inside the house.

Jacobs has been placed on the commissioner's exempt list, and prosecutors referenced the video as part of the charges filed last week, according to com and TSN.

Gutekunst told reporters that the team has not seen the video.

"We have not seen the video," he said. "Again, those are legal things going on right now, so we'll let those play out. That's really not for us, but in the appropriate times if those things become available, we'll figure that stuff out when that time comes."

When asked whether he needs to see the video before deciding on Jacobs' future with the team, Gutekunst said: "Again, we're going to lean on the legal process and let that happen, but we'll take things as they come."

The Brown County District Attorney has not responded to an ESPN message asking if the video will be released, according to TSN.

Coach LaFleur says Jacobs will be at facility

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs will be at the team facility, as NFL rules allow for players on the commissioner exempt list. Players cannot practice or play but can participate in other activities around the facility.

LaFleur said of Jacobs: "There were many conversations obviously and certainly don't know all the details. But what he tells me, I believe him and I trust him. I'm going to do that until proven otherwise."

Gutekunst hopeful Jacobs plays this season

Despite recent comments that the team anticipated Jacobs might miss time, Gutekunst said he remains hopeful Jacobs will play this season.

"I think that's to be seen, but I'm certainly hopeful that he will and certainly would expect that," Gutekunst said. "But we're going to let this process play out and we'll be prepared either way."

The Packers open the 2026 regular season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 13.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
