Jacobs pleaded no contest to battery charges; on commissioner exempt list pending NFL suspension decision.

Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal damage to property; he is currently on the NFL commissioner exempt list pending league investigation and potential suspension. The NFL is attempting to acquire video evidence from Jacobs' garage that allegedly shows him grabbing and throwing his girlfriend to the ground and subsequently damaging her phone. The timing of the NFL's suspension decision is being delayed due to precedent set by the Ray Rice case in 2014, which established that the league gets only one opportunity to suspend a player per personal conduct violation and cannot increase punishment based on public reaction to video evidence. Jacobs' legal team and the victim's representation have both filed motions to seal discovery evidence, though the victim's initial motion was denied on a paperwork technicality and has been resubmitted.
