Postponement of Stefon Diggs's arraignment virtually guarantees no paid leave

Our Summary

The arraignment of Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs in his criminal case has been postponed from January 23 to February 13, five days after Super Bowl LX, according to TMZ. Diggs is facing charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. His lawyer cited a "previously-scheduled professional commitment" as the reason for the delay. The NFL previously stated that paid leave might be considered following formal charges or an arraignment. While Diggs remains eligible to play, the NFL is monitoring the legal proceedings and has not ruled out placing him on the Commissioner Exempt list. The Patriots have expressed support for Diggs, who denies the allegations.
