The NFL has still not interviewed wide receiver Antonio Brown about rape allegations that surfaced in early September, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
The league is investigating Brown under the personal conduct policy.
Brown has not been arrested or charged, and due to the fact that it is a civil lawsuit, he doesn't seem likely to face criminal charges.
Of course, what the justice system does and what the NFL does are two entirely different things, and just because Brown is not facing criminal charges does not mean that the league won't suspend him.
Brown, who played one game for the New England Patriots in Week 2 before being released, is a free agent, and because the NFL is not yet telling teams whether or not it will place the wideout on paid leave, clubs are not attempting to sign him.
For that reason, he is essentially on suspension without pay even though he hasn't technically been suspended.
Brown was supposed to play for the Oakland Raiders this season after being traded to the Raiders from the Pittsburgh Steelers back in March, but a series of events during training camp ultimately led to Brown requesting his release from Oakland.
The Raiders obliged, and Brown then signed with the Patriots.
New England did not know of the rape allegations against Brown at the time of the acquisition, and after Brown sent threatening text messages to another woman who accused Brown of sexual misconduct, the Pats parted ways with the seven-time Pro Bowler.
