Kansas City Chiefs defensive backs coach Dave Merritt is not subject to discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after a domestic battery matter against him was dismissed, according to multiple reports. Merritt has coached the Chiefs’ defensive backs since 2019. Reports say he faced a charge filed in April related to an alleged domestic battery involving his daughter and entered a not-guilty plea. In May, the case was dismissed, and the NFL reportedly determined there was insufficient evidence of a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy. As a result, Merritt is cleared to continue coaching with Kansas City. The reports do not indicate that the league imposed any suspension or additional measures related to the incident following the dismissal. In the wake of the legal outcome, the NFL’s decision centers on whether the conduct policy was implicated and whether the available information met the threshold for league discipline.
