Packers Say They Haven't Seen Video in Josh Jacobs Misdemeanor Case as NFL Review Continues

Summary
Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday the Packers have not seen the surveillance video cited in Josh Jacobs' criminal complaint and will let the legal process play out before deciding next steps.
Brown County prosecutors charged Jacobs last week with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property over a May 23 incident in which a woman said he threw her to the ground in his garage.
The complaint says garage camera footage corroborates key parts of the woman's account, though it does not cover inside the house; the district attorney has not said whether the video will be released.
Jacobs is already on the commissioner exempt list, which bars him from practicing or playing but still allows him at the team facility while the NFL reviews the matter under its personal conduct policy.
Green Bay still hopes Jacobs plays this season, Gutekunst said, while the team has added depth at running back with Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong Jr.
