Attorneys Refile Motion to Seal Evidence in Josh Jacobs Case

Green Bay Appleton, WI, September 17, 2026 — Attorneys representing the former girlfriend of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs have submitted a renewed effort to permanently seal evidence related to his ongoing criminal case. The motion was refiled in Brown County court, according to recent filings.

This marks a second attempt by the legal team to secure a court order to seal the evidence. The initial motion was reportedly denied by a judge, with the reason cited for the denial being a formatting issue with the document. The attorneys have since corrected the unspecified formatting problem and resubmitted the request, aiming to ensure the privacy and safety of the woman involved.

The specific details of the criminal case have not been elaborated upon in public filings related to the sealing motion. The objective of the refiled motion is to prevent sensitive information from becoming part of the public record, thereby safeguarding the individual’s personal life and security.

Simultaneously, the National Football League (NFL) is also reported to be gathering evidence concerning the matter. The league often conducts its own investigations into off-field conduct of its players, which can run parallel to or in conjunction with legal proceedings. The specifics of the NFL’s investigative scope or its findings have not been disclosed.

The refiled motion is now before the court for consideration. Further proceedings or rulings are pending. Information regarding the outcome of previous court actions, the specific nature of the formatting issue, or the timeline for a decision on the refiled motion were not immediately available.
