The Arizona Cardinals placed running backs coach James Saxon on administrative leave following a report of charges of domestic battery back in August.
According to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, he resigned from his position on the coaching staff last month. It was “to focus on his family and his personal life.”
Saxon received his sentence last month, according to Weinfuss.
Saxon was sentenced to one year in jail, which was suspended, and given one year of probation. He is required to complete a 26-week Batterers Intervention Program as a condition of his sentencing. If he successfully completes the terms of his plea without any violations, then his probation will become non-reporting.
That officially closes the book on this issue. Saxon has received his sentence and he is no longer on staff.
