Michael Bennett to Enter Not Guilty Plea If Felony Charge Goes to Trial

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett's lawyer said Friday that his client will enter a not guilty plea if his case goes to trial.

Rusty Hardin said the following regarding Bennett's case, according to ESPN.com's Tim McManus: "The only two possible outcomes for this case is the DA's office [saying] they don't have a case and dismissing, or a trial—one or the other. If and whenever they ask for a plea, it will be not guilty."

Bennett is facing a felony charge of injury to the elderly stemming from an incident that occurred after Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium in Houston last year.
