Report: Matt Patricia, Lions Won't Be Disciplined for Sexual Assault Allegations

After meeting with both Matt Patricia and the Detroit Lions last week, the NFL determined there will be no discipline for either party following the surfacing of allegations made against the coach twenty years ago, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Robert Snell of The Detroit News recently reported Patricia was arrested, charged and indicted for sexual assault in 1996, but the case never went to trial.

Per ESPN, the league wanted to discover whether the team should have learned this information prior to hiring the coach in February and if Patricia should have disclosed this information.
