SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks say offensive tackle Chad Wheeler is no longer with the team following his arrest on suspicion of felony assault-domestic violence.
The 27-year-old Wheeler is accused of strangling his girlfriend until she lost consciousness.
A spokesperson with the King County prosecutor's office told ESPN that a charging decision is expected to be made by Wednesday afternoon.
The Seahawks released a statement Wednesday that read, in part: "The Seahawks are saddened by the details emerging against Chad Wheeler and strongly condemn this act of domestic violence. Our thoughts and support are with the victim.
