Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs addressed new abuse allegations on Wednesday afternoon. Jacobs, who has returned to the field for the Packers in recent weeks, again denied any wrongdoing. He said the latest wave of abuse allegations, which came after his arrest earlier this year, felt like an "attack." Jacobs was first arrested in northern Wisconsin in May and charged with multiple counts of domestic abuse. He pleaded no contest to battery and criminal damage charges, landing on the commissioner's exempt list and missing the first six games of the season. Last week, police records revealed at least three other women accusing Jacobs of abuse, including slapping, grabbing, and threatening actions. Jacobs maintains his innocence through his attorney, citing substantial evidence to support his assertions.
