Police have closed their investigation against Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). A former girlfriend of Irving hacked his Twitter account in April and accused him of domestic violence, but he has since recanted her claims. 
Initially, Cops probed Irving on allegations of assault causing bodily injury to a family member; assault against a family member while impeding breath/circulation, and unlawful restraint. The charge of impeding one’s breath/circulation (which, effectively, means choking someone) is a felony.
While Irving will not be charged in relation to this case, the NFL may conduct its own investigation into what transpired. If the league finds that the allegations had merit – despite the findings of police – he could still be subject to a suspension or fine down the road.
This offseason, Irving was retained via a one-year, $2.9MM restricted tender. After the 2018 season, he’ll be on course for unrestricted free agency.
Irving emerged as a playmaker in limited action in 2016 by logging four sacks and four forced fumbles. His 2017 season was cut short due to a concussion and a four-game suspension at the season’s outset, but he still managed seven sacks in eight games. That was good for the second-highest total on the team, trailing only Demarcus Lawrence.

So suspended for 6 games like Zeke then?
I hate how the NFL can go and punish someone for something that the legal system couldn’t
She recanted her story and said she hacked his account.. she should get charged .. I don’t think the league will suspend on this one .. in the Zeke deal the alleged victim stuck to her story even though she was proved to be not credible .. no victim to Corroborate since she recanted ..
Agreed, the NFL is punishing the victim. The man who is falsely accused is the victim, not the liars who think making false accusations is acceptable
Sometimes women get angry at their “partner” and lie. Too bad now men are guilty until proven innocent. Ever been through a divorce? I wish to GOD your never have to swim in that cess pool…..
