Josh Jacobs claims that he was not pretending to be in handcuffs during his viral touchdown celebration. It was an ode to a gospel song.
One game after returning to the field from the commissioner’s exempt list, it appears that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs could be headed right back on the shelf.
Jacobs sat out the first seven games of the season for Green Bay after an offseason arrest for battery and criminal damage to property involving his partner.
He then made even more headlines when, after scoring a touchdown, Jacobs appeared to mock the arrest. Though he claimed to have done no such thing.
The NFL had not yet suspended Jacobs over the incident and is currently conducting its own investigation. Now, it appears that Jacobs could face significant time out after three additional women came forward and accused him of abuse following his arrest.
