Brandon Marshall in Oct. 2008. (Andy Cross, The Denver Post )Providing he's healthy, Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall will be able to play the entire 2009 season.
Marshall was notified by letter Tuesday that he was not found in violation of the league's personal conduct policy due to his arrest on disorderly conduct charges March 1 following a disturbance with his fiancée, Michi Nogami, who also was charged.
The charges against Marshall and Nogami were dropped the next day.
"The NFL has confirmed that based on their own investigation there will not be a suspension or any discipline issues as a result of Mr. Marshall's arrest on March 1," said Marshall's attorney Harvey Steinberg. "I had been in touch with the NFL since right after the incident occurred and we were under the belief that what took place would not rise to the level of any form of discipline."
Marshall is still facing a court case later this month in Atlanta stemming from misdemeanor battery charges against his former girlfriend, Rasheedah Watley. That case, however, is expected to be continued to a later date, which means once Marshall recovers from offseason hip surgery, he can concentrate on the 2009 season.
Marshall left the Broncos' offseason minicamp last week to rehab in Orlando.
