The Facts: Mathis was arrested on Sunday for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend. He was booked on Sunday evening and released on $3,000 bond.

Diehards Line:Mathis has been charged with assault-family violence. It's a misdemeanor, and Mathis faces up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. Mathis was drafted by the Texans in 2005, and his rookie contract expired after the 2007 season. Thus, he is eligible for restricted free agency. This latest development obviously won't make the talented but tender return specialist a more desireable prospect.
