Eagles' Michael Bennett indicted on felony charge for injury of elderly from an incident at Super Bowl LI

Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett was indicted Friday by a Harris County, Texas grand jury for felony charge of injury of the elderly for an incident at Super Bowl LI.

A warrant has been issued for Bennett’s arrest and prosecutors are working with Bennett’s counsel regarding his surrender, according to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.

Bennett was accused of injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic who was securing the field at Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium in February 2017. Bennett, who was then a member of the Seattle Seahawks, attended the game to watch his brother, Martellus, who played for the New England Patriots.
