Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property during a court appearance on Thursday, Sept. 10.
The Green Bay Packers running back appeared in Brown County Court on Thursday to face a pair of misdemeanor charges – one for battery and the other for criminal damage to property.
Those charges stemmed from Jacobs' arrest in Brown County, Wisconsin, on May 26 after an incident occurred on May 23.
An initial court appearance was set for Nov. 17, but the timeline was moved up two months.
The NFL announced on Aug. 30 that Jacobs was being placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, rendering him ineligible to play at the regular season neared. The league didn’t provide a timeline for when Jacobs could come off that list.
Head coach Matt LaFleur and the Packers have stood behind the 28-year-old throughout the process, vowing to let the legal situation unfold.
This is a developing story and will be updated with additional information.
