Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder will not be suspended over allegations that tied him to a domestic violence incident this past June, according to ESPN's John Keim.
Crowder is a rookie receiver who was drafted in the fourth round out of Duke. Photos of a woman with a cut on her lip and bruises on her arms had surfaced on Crowder's Twitter and Instagram accounts, tying him to the incident, according to Keim.
Tory Dandy, Crowder's agent, denied that her client had hit a woman. No police report was ever filed concerning the alleged incident. Also, the NFL's investigation found no grounds on which to suspend Crowder for the alleged abuse.
Crowder was part of the turnaround in Duke's football program, and he grabbed 14 touchdowns between his junior and senior season. He was also part of the team when Duke had its first 10-win season in 2013. Crowder has been held back by a hamstring issue since entering the league and has only caught four passes for 41 yards.
Both Ray Rice and Greg Hardy were suspended for incidents related to domestic violence, and Rice is still struggle to recover and make a team today. Hardy was found guilty of assaulting a female and communicating threats, but the verdict was overturned when the victim refused to testify in the appeal in North Carolina, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Hardy's suspension went from 10 games down to four.
