Cardinals’ Jonathan Dwyer arrested in domestic violence incident

Another NFL player is facing a domestic violence accusation.
Cardinals running back
Jonathan Dwyer has been accused of domestic violence stemming from an incident with his wife, according to
Tyler Baldwin of 3 TV in Phoenix. That report says the fight with his wife happened “a while ago,” but she kept records of her injuries. Phoenix TV station KTAR reports that Dwyer was pulled from practice today and questioned at Phoenix Police headquarters.
Dwyer was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and preventing someone from calling 911 in a domestic violence incident, according to the
CBS Evening News Twitter account. A police spokesman told the
Arizona Republic that
Dwyer was arrested.
The incident comes at a time when domestic violence cases have shaken the NFL, eroded fans’ trust and threatened the job of Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The 25-year-old Dwyer is in his first season with the Cardinals after spending the previous four seasons with the Steelers. He has played in both of the Cardinals’ games this season and has 16 carries for 51 yards. Because he’s not a star player (unlike other accused players like
Ray Rice,
Greg Hardy and
Adrian Peterson), it wouldn’t be at all surprising for the Cardinals simply to cut him and try to get this case behind them as soon as possible.
Of course, if the Cardinals do cut Dwyer,
the next man up on the roster would likely be practice squad running back Chris Rainey — who has had two separate domestic violence incidents, one in college that got him kicked off the team at Florida, and one in the NFL that got him cut by the Steelers. Which serves as a reminder that the NFL has to do a whole lot more to get domestic abusers out of the league.
