Stefon Diggs pleaded not guilty Friday to felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges tied to a December dispute with his private chef. A judge ordered him to avoid contact with the alleged victim and set a pretrial hearing for April 1. The chef, Mila Adams, publicly denied fabricating claims or seeking money, saying she trusts the legal process. Diggs has denied wrongdoing, changed attorneys, and continues to receive support from the Patriots as the case unfolds.
