After scoring his first touchdown of the game in the team's 27-19 win over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night, Jacobs put his hands behind his back in celebration.Thursday's game was Jacobs' second since coming off the commissioner's exempt list, which he had been on since August following a May altercation with his then-girlfriend, who said he threw her to the ground.Jacobs pleaded no contest last month to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property.
He insisted the celebration had nothing to do with his arrest as speculation spread on social media that the gesture referenced his off-field issues.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEGreen Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs celebrates after scoring a touchdown with wide receiver J.Michael Sturdivant and wide receiver Matthew Golden during the first half of an NFL game against the Carolina Panthers in Green Bay, Wis., on Thursday, Oct.
