NFL says no discipline for Stefon Diggs under its personal conduct policy

Stefon Diggs will not face any discipline from the NFL after a review found insufficient evidence to punish him under its personal conduct policy. The NFL informed Diggs of its decision following an investigation into allegations that he assaulted his personal chef, Jamila Adams, during an incident in December.
