Cook allegedly choked his girlfriend following studying she had talked to an ex-boyfriend. Cook has proclaimed his innocence on Twitter.
Below the CBA, player may be suspended up to 4 games without having pay for conduct detrimental to the team.

Yeah, this Colts season could get ugly quick.
Here’s what we learned whilst watching the Texans race out to a 34- halftime lead against the Colts on their way to a 34-7 win.
1. Peyton Manning covered up so numerous problems for the Colts. They all showed up Sunday.
The offensive line couldn’t safeguard Kerry Collins. The operating game was nowhere to be discovered. The team struggled to recognize Houston’s blitzes. Special teams was poor, as usual. The defense couldn’t quit the run, as usual.
two. Collins started 5-for-five, but that came with two lost fumbles. Both Colts tackles looked a little lost at times. Communication was an concern for Indy’s offensive line.
three. It doesn’t matter who’s at running back for the Texans. When Derrick Ward left with an injury at halftime, Ben Tate finished the job with 116 yards and a touchdown. We even had a Steve Slaton sighting.
Houston is the new Denver. Their offensive line is that very good any back they play will get yards.
four. So much for that slow transition to Wade Phillips’ defense. Mario Williams had two sacks. Antonio Smith was possibly a lot more disruptive and looked like a best fit for the defense. Rookie J.J. Watt was a massive factor all day.
It was the ideal initial week opponent for Houston. Now the defense has confidence the new scheme works.
five. The Texans are favorites in the AFC South. It doesn’t mean we should just hand them the division, but they ought to be able to produce distance with Indy in brief order. Tennessee and Jacksonville have problems.

With receiver Marques Colston gone for a month or longer due to a broken collarbone and receiver Lance Moore missing Thursday night’s opener against the Packers with a groin injury, the Saints require a little divine intervention.
Or maybe they just want a diva.
According to WWLTV.com, receiver Randy Moss was at the Saints’ facility on Saturday.
Sadly, the report apparently is erroneous. Per a league source, if Moss created a go to to the Saints facility, the pay a visit to occurred without having the Saints contacting Randy’s agent, Joel Segal. Not only would that be highly unconventional, it also would likely be a violation of the labor deal, specially if any conversations occurred with Randy regarding a probable contract.
Moss has “retired” from the NFL, but it is believed that he’d return in specific particular circumstances. The Saints were 1 of numerous teams believed to be on Randy’s radar, along with the Pats, Bears, Eagles, and Colts (before Peyton’s newest surgical process).
