According to The Boston Globe, New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs was granted a postponement of his arraignment for allegedly assaulting a personal chef to Feb. 13.
Diggs — who was set to be arraigned in Dedham District Court on Jan. 23, which is the Friday before the AFC Championship game — made the request due to a “previously scheduled professional commitment” that day, his lawyer, David Meier, previously said.
The postponement indicates that Diggs will be available for the entirety of the postseason, and likely remain off the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List — a paid leave status for players facing unique circumstances.
His new arraignment date is set for five days after Super Bowl 2026, taking place in Santa Clara, Calif
