Overview
- Most outlets report a new court date of Feb. 13, five days after the Super Bowl, while some cite Feb. 23, a discrepancy not reconciled in the available reports.
- Prosecutors did not oppose the postponement, which moves the Dedham District Court arraignment off the Jan. 23 calendar.
- Diggs faces a felony count of strangulation or suffocation and a misdemeanor count of assault and battery tied to a Dec. 2 incident described in a police report.
- His attorney categorically denies the allegations, characterizing the dispute as an employment-related financial matter and noting attempts to reach a monetary resolution.
- The Patriots say they support Diggs, the NFL says it is aware and has not taken action, and legal timing could limit exempt-list considerations during the playoffs; teammate Christian Barmore has a separate arraignment set for Feb. 3.
