The NFL determined that neither the Lions nor Matt Patricia will be subject to any discipline in regard to a previous sexual assault allegation against the Detroit coach, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The league met last week with the Lions and Patricia. The NFL said the Lions were not at fault for not learning about Patricia's 1996 arrest during the interview process and that Patricia would not be disciplined for not letting his arrest be known to the club, sources said.
The situation is not subject to the personal conduct policy as the allegations occurred well before Patricia's affiliation with the NFL.
