Overview
- Wayne County prosecutors said Friday they will not charge the Steelers receiver after reviewing the December incident at Detroit’s Ford Field.
- Officials said they examined multi-angle video and interviewed security and nearby fans, and they noted the spectator did not seek medical care.
- Video from Dec. 21 shows Metcalf approach the rail, grab fan Ryan Kennedy’s shirt, and push him during a brief exchange.
- The NFL had already suspended Metcalf two games without pay, costing him more than $500,000 and voiding $45 million in contract guarantees.
- Kennedy’s $100 million civil suit alleging he was falsely labeled a racist is moving ahead, and lawyers say Friday’s decision does not change the case, with a May 5 status conference set.
