The legal fate of Florida Gators defensive tackle Caleb Brantley will not be decided before Thursday's NFL draft.

On Monday, Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com reported a Florida state attorney said there will be no decision whether there is enough evidence to formally charge Brantley with misdemeanor simple battery in the next few days.

Schlabach noted Brantley "is accused of striking a woman and knocking her unconscious during a dispute at a bar" on April 13 and added "Gainesville Police charged him with misdemeanor simple battery in a sworn complaint filed with the state attorney's office" on Friday.
