Stefon Diggs Charged with Felony Strangulation; Patriots Support, Vrabel Expects Play

Patriots WR Stefon Diggs faces felony strangulation/suffocation and misdemeanor assault/battery charges stemming from a December 2 incident where a private chef accused him of assault. Diggs' attorney "categorically denies" the allegations. The Patriots are cooperating with authorities and supporting Diggs, while HC Mike Vrabel stated he hasn't heard anything from the NFL to prevent Diggs from playing. His arraignment is scheduled for January 23, with an NFL Exempt List placement deemed unlikely without physical evidence.
