Former Tiger Justyn Ross is no longer facing criminal charges

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross no longer facing criminal chargers.

Former Clemson wide receiver and current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver is no longer facing criminal charges, as his case was approved for diversion.

For those who don’t know, a diversion program is an alternative to traditional criminal prosecution that aims to rehabilitate offenders rather than imposing punitive measures. Typically, it involves community-based interventions and support services to address underlying issues contributing to criminal behavior, allowing participants to avoid formal charges or incarceration.

Ross had pleaded not guilty to domestic battery and misdemeanor property damage. He is currently on the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt List, so he can’t practice, play or attend games. There is no word on when he will rejoin the team.
