New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is facing assault and strangulation charges in Massachusetts.

The charges were filed Monday in Dedham District Court, according to CBS Boston. Diggs is now facing charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. The charges appear to stem from a December 2 incident, but few details are available.

Diggs has said he “categorically denies the allegations,” according to a statement from team officials.

“We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary. Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time,” the team said in a statement to CBS Boston.

Diggs is expected to appear in court on January 23 for his arraignment.
