Green Bay Packers star Josh Jacobs has returned to practice with the team one week after being arrested on a slew of domestic violence charges.
Jacobs, 28, turned himself in to police in Wisconsin on five charges that include battery-domestic abuse, criminal damage to property-domestic abuse, disorderly conduct-domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim.
Yet less than 24 hours after being booked into Brown County Jail, the running back was released after authorities said they are ‘not prepared to make a formal charging decision’ based on current evidence.
The Brown County DA’s office has called for further investigation with a final charging decision to be made at a further date.
Amid the ongoing probe, Jacobs was free to return to practice with his Green Bay teammates on Tuesday.
The former No 24 Draft pick was able to get his offseason workout schedule up and running ahead of next week’s mandatory minicamp.

During a media session after Tuesday’s practice, head coach Matt LaFleur said it’s ‘business as usual’ with Jacobs despite the accusations that have been made against him.
Quarterback Jordan Love also revealed they have ‘talked internally’ about his teammate’s situation off the field.
‘You know everyone knows what the situation is there,’ Love added. ‘But obviously the details are… everyone is keeping the details under wraps right now out of respect for the situation and all the legal stuff that will be playing out, but it’s great to have Josh here with us and get back to work.’
Earlier this week Milwaukee’s TMJ4 News revealed 911 calls from the alleged domestic dispute last Tuesday, in which dispatchers describe a chaotic scene at Jacobs’ Wisconsin home.
‘Can hear yelling and screaming,’ said one dispatcher. ‘Things being thrown. Open Line. Possibly a male and female.’
A follow-up 911 call from a nearby resident added to the urgency of the situation.
‘The neighbor is calling now saying her neighbor [redacted] was assaulted,’ the dispatcher said.
The Packers star allegedly drove away in his Mercedes G Wagon, only to be tracked with license-plate monitors.

‘Yeah, at this point we’ll want that vehicle stopped if you come across it,’ another dispatcher is heard saying.
Ultimately deputies and an ambulance arrived at Jacobs’ home to meet with the unidentified victim. Jacobs would later turn himself in to police.
Back in February, Jacobs sparked dating rumors with influencer and OnlyFans model Ash Kash, after the pair were seen holding hands in a Snapchat post.
Neither Jacobs nor Kash ever commented on the rumors.
