The brief
Coverage notes that Diggs was previously found not guilty of assault and strangulation charges in a criminal case involving a former chef, though the NFL’s decision does not address the legal outcome. Reports from *ProFootballRumors.com*, *ESPN*, *NBC Sports*, *Yahoo Sports*, and *News4JAX* uniformly confirm the NFL’s announcement, framing it as a closure of the review without further comment on the specifics.
Future scrutiny may focus on whether the NFL’s policy will be applied differently in similar off-field cases, particularly if new allegations arise or legal proceedings unfold in other player investigations.
