DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland says he took advantage of revised NFL rules on contacting players to talk with receiver Brandon Marshall, who was briefly hospitalized last week following a domestic dispute.
Marshall’s wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Ireland said he talked with Marshall by phone Thursday under new NFL rules for doing business after a federal judge declared the league’s lockout illegal. The lockout had restricted team contact with players. Ireland said he would likely talk with Marshall again Friday.
Marshall was released from a hospital Saturday and expected to fully recover. An arrest report said Nogami-Marshall told officers she was defending herself in the confrontation.
