Based on those charges, Jacobs faces anywhere from six to 16 years behind bars. According to WISN, Jacobs denied the allegations through a statement from his attorneys.
"Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public. We ask for fairness and restraint while the judicial process takes its course," attorneys David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld, and Clarence Duchac.
The Green Bay Packers and the NFL are 'aware' of the allegations and arrest but offered no further comment.

Jacobs signed a four-year $48 million contract with the Packers in 2024.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been arrested for allegedly strangling and suffocating a woman. Which sounds bad. But it could be worse per sports media — he could have introduced President Trump at a rally.

The Left is currently melting down over Giants QB Jackson Dart introducing President Trump at a rally late last week. We won't hear a peep from them about this, however.
