GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was released from a Wisconsin jail on Wednesday while authorities further investigate allegations of domestic abuse.<\/p>\n

Jacobs was arrested Tuesday in Brown County on allegations of strangulation and suffocation and other offenses over the weekend. His lawyers said he denies wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

District Attorney David Lasee said it\u2019s too soon to make a formal charging decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur office has requested additional investigation, as there is reason to believe that additional evidence may exist that would impact whether criminal charges are appropriate, and what charges would be issued. \u2026 The investigation remains open and is ongoing,\u201d Lasee said.<\/p>\n

Jacobs\u2019 lawyers \u2014 David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Clarence Duchac \u2014 said they\u2019re pleased that he\u2019s out of jail.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage everyone to keep an open mind while the matter is fully reviewed. We remain confident that, once all of the evidence is gathered and evaluated, it will confirm that no charges should be brought against Josh in the future,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Hobart\/Lawrence Police Chief Michael Renkas said police responded to a complaint about Jacobs around 8:30 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jacobs is the Packers\u2019 top returning rusher after running for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025. That followed a 2024 season in which he ran for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while earning his third Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n

The Packers, who started organized team activities this week, had issued a statement Tuesday saying that they were aware of the matter and that \u201cas it is an ongoing legal situation, we will withhold further comment.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s going to be a lot of questions about Josh,\u201d Packers coach Matt LaFleur said before the Packers\u2019 practice on Wednesday. \u201cI\u2019m going to stick with the statement that we put out as an organization and just let the process play out.\u201d<\/p>\n

LaFleur declined comment on his reaction to the arrest, how he addressed the matter with the team and whether the Packers had communicated at all with Jacobs over the past few days. He also was asked about whether he has to prepare for the possibility the Packers might have to play part of the season without Jacobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot\u2019s going to happen between now and then,\u201d LaFleur said.<\/p>\n

The Packers canceled a scheduled post-practice availability for reporters with players Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Jacobs, 28, has rushed for 7,803 yards and 74 touchdowns in his seven-year career, which included five seasons with the Raiders. He earned All-Pro honors and had an NFL-leading 1,653 yards rushing with Las Vegas in 2022.<\/p>\n

The only active players with more career touchdown runs are Baltimore\u2019s Derrick Henry (122) and Buffalo\u2019s Josh Allen (79).<\/p>\n

Green Bay lacks proven running backs aside from Jacobs. <\/p>\n

The Packers\u2019 second-leading rusher last season was Emanuel Wilson, who has since signed with the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers didn\u2019t draft any running backs this year.<\/p>\n

Green Bay\u2019s second-leading returning rusher is quarterback Jordan Love, who ran for 199 yards last season. The Packers did re-sign running back Chris Brooks, who rushed for 106 yards on 27 carries last season and ran for 183 yards and a touchdown on 36 attempts in 2024.<\/p>\n

MarShawn Lloyd, a 2024 third-round pick from Southern California, didn\u2019t play at all last year and appeared in only one game as a rookie because of injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s done everything he can in his power to put him in the best possible position,\u201d LaFleur said of Lloyd. \u201cHe\u2019s just going to have to go out there and prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other running backs on Green Bay\u2019s roster include Damien Martinez, Pierre Strong and rookie undrafted free agent Jaden Nixon.<\/p>\n
