Police continue to withhold video related to Josh Jacobs incident
Summary

Josh Jacobs, currently on paid leave, faces ongoing delays regarding video evidence tied to his guilty plea for battery. The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin has not released the video to the NFL or media. Although a judge approved the potential release, legal challenges from involved attorneys have led to a temporary hold. As Jacobs remains unable to play, the league seeks to avoid previous mistakes related to similar cases. The NFL's decision on Jacobs will hinge on viewing the video before any potential return.
