While the Bears await the outcome of Mario Edwards’ legal situation — the defensive end was charged with misdemeanor assault of a female in mid-October, it was learned Tuesday — the team says it already dealt with his violation of coronavirus protocols.
Edwards is accused of assault after an incident that happened between the defensive end and a female acquaintance in his hotel room, and then in a hallway, on Oct. 17, the night before the Bears played the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C.
Police responded to the Hilton Charlotte Uptown just after midnight because of reports of a woman hitting Edwards with her hand and scratching his face, according to documents obtained by the Sun-Times.
