Drug charges against Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. stemming from an August traffic stop have been dismissed, the Harrison County (Ohio) Prosecutor's Office confirmed.
Though he no longer faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge, Snell could still be disciplined by the NFL because any illegal drug use is in violation of the league's code of conduct.
