PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Judge Dismisses Case Against Rison
An Atlanta municipal judge dismissed assault and weapons charges against Falcon wide receiver Andre Rison, but prosecutors said the case might be reopened and investigated further.
Rison was charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm, simple battery and carrying a pistol without a license after a fight with his fiancee, rap singer Lisa Lopes, outside a nightclub on Sept. 2.
