Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was never charged with a DUI and instead was charged with a misdemeanor traffic offense after a single-car crash last week near McCarran International Airport.
The Clark County District Attorney's Office filed a complaint against Jacobs charging him for failure to exercise due care, his lawyers said in a statement published by the NFL Network on Twitter. At the time of the crash, KVVU, the FOX television station in Las Vegas, reported Jacobs was charged with DUI -- also a misdemeanor for a first-time offender -- after officers suspected he was under the influence.

Jacobs was taken to a hospital for further evaluation and was later released from police custody, according to the station. His lawyers said their client suffered minor injuries, including a laceration on his forehead.
The penalty for a first offense for failure to exercise due care carries $250 to $1,000 in fines and 50 to 99 hours of community service.
Las Vegas had just finished its 2020 NFL season with a one-point victory over the Denver Broncos. Jacobs rushed for 89 yards on 15 carries and scored two touchdowns.
