Jury selection is expected to commence in the assault trial of former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, according to court records.

Diggs, who previously played for the Patriots organization, faces assault charges in what will be a closely watched legal proceeding. The wide receiver's legal team and prosecutors are preparing for the jury selection process, which marks the formal beginning of trial proceedings.

The specific details of the assault allegations have not been made public as the case moves through the court system. Diggs has maintained his innocence through his legal representatives.

The trial comes as the NFL continues to monitor legal proceedings involving current and former players. The league has established policies regarding player conduct and criminal charges, though the specific application depends on individual case circumstances and outcomes.
