Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been booked on five criminal charges, including strangulation and suffocation, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The charges against Jacobs also include battery and domestic abuse. The news was first reported on Tuesday during "The Insiders" on NFL Network. The specific details surrounding the incident or the location of the booking have not yet been disclosed by authorities or the league.
Jacobs joined the Green Bay Packers earlier this year as a marquee free-agent signing. The five charges represent a significant legal matter for the former Pro Bowl running back. At this time, neither the NFL nor the Green Bay Packers have issued a formal statement regarding the report or Jacobs' standing with the team.
Legal proceedings and further investigations are expected to follow as more information becomes available regarding the nature of the allegations. This report comes as teams across the league are in the midst of their offseason programs.
