A misdemeanor simple assault charge against Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Rashad Weaver has been dropped, according to a report in The Tennessean on Tuesday.
The criminal case was closed and Weaver's trial, which was set to begin Tuesday, was canceled, the newspaper said.
The charge was tied to an incident that happened outside a bar in Pittsburgh in April 2021. A woman told police that Weaver "grabbed her by the throat and pushed her to the ground, where she ultimately hit her head."
According to The Tennessean, records display that the prosecutor decided to no longer pursue the criminal charge.
