The Carolina Panthers have placed general manager Marty Hurney on leave after his ex-wife, Jeanne Hurney, accused him of harassment last Friday.
Joseph Person and Michael Gordon of the Charlotte Observer reported Jeanne filed for a restraining order, but a judge denied her motion for an immediate protective order. As a result, Hurney is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 16.
The judge who heard the request said there was no evidence Hurney had committed acts of domestic violence. The NFL is currently investigating the case.
