New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs took the field on Sunday, January 4, just days after news broke that he was accused of assaulting his live-in private chef during an altercation in December. With Diggs, 32, facing charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery, some have asked why he is still allowed to play, even though Diggs has denied the claims. "Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations," Diggs' attorney David Meier said in a statement to Us Weekly on December 30.
