Josh Jacobs filed a civil suit this week seeking a permanent injunction to block the release of records and video from his May 23 altercation with a woman. The Packers running back is fighting to keep the documents and footage from becoming public.
Details on what happened during the altercation remain limited. Jacobs is taking legal action now to prevent authorities or other parties from disclosing materials related to the incident. The move suggests he wants to keep the specifics of what occurred sealed from public view.
This comes as the NFL continues to monitor the situation. Jacobs has been a centerpiece of Green Bay's backfield since joining the team. Whether the league pursues discipline depends partly on what emerges from this legal battle. For now, Jacobs is trying to control the narrative by keeping the evidence locked away.
