The Green Bay Packers could be without their starting running back for a while this season.
Josh Jacobs was arrested in May after a domestic incident and on Thursday the Brown County District Attorney charged him with misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property, according to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. He originally booked on five charges.
The incident report, shared by Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, has some disturbing details. It says that authorities have surveillance video from Jacobs' garage, and according to the incident report the video shows Jacobs throwing his girlfriend to the ground. She hit her head and suffered an injury, the report said. Then Jacobs took her phone while she was on the ground, and she struggled to get back into the house.

The NFL has known about the case for months, and the Packers have been preparing in case Jacobs gets suspended. The NFL's rules call for a six-game suspension for a first offense of domestic violence.
